Abstrakt:	Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a low-grade tumor of the vascular endothelium. The majority of individuals affected have advanced human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The disease typically manifests as cutaneous lesions but reports have shown that systemic disease is not uncommon. Because gastrointestinal KS is often asymptomatic, it is likely underdiagnosed. Those with symptoms can present with vague abdominal pain, nausea/vomiting or anemia. Rarely the tumors can cause bowel obstruction or perforation. We present a case of small bowel obstruction cause by KS tumors in a young transgender male to female patient with poorly controlled AIDS, supported by literature review of the clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment recommendations.
