Abstract:
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. Transplant recipients, patients with malignancies and those receiving immunosuppressive therapies are susceptible to CMV diseases. While the gastrointestinal infection of CMV is relatively common in AIDS, it is uncommon in other immunocompromised patients. We report a case of CMV gastric ulcer mimicking Borrmann typeIII gastric cancer on gastroscopy in a patient with immunosuppressive therapy.
