ABSTRACT
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an important cause of opportunistic infection in immunocompromised patients. CMV infection occurs as a result of the cell-mediated immunity change in lymphoma patients. Although CMV can cause ulceration anywhere in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract in immunocompromised patients, only a few case reports about CMV GI infection in malignant lymphoma have been documented in literature. Furthermore, it was rare that CMV gastric ulcer with massive bleeding presented as an initial manifestation in a patient who has been not diagnosed lymphoma. We report a case of CMV induced gastric ulcer as an initial manifestation in patient with Hodgkin's disease.
