ABSTRACT
cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection has been reported to be common in AIDS patients, CMV infection of the oral cavity has been known to be less common one among oral manifestations of AIDS. The authors experienced a case of CMV infection on tongue of an AIDS patient. Thirty eight years old male developed a lesion on the dorsal surface and tip of tongue, manifesting superficial painful ulcer, and complained of the mouth discomfort. The histopathological features showed changes within the vascular endothelial cells that is, extremely swollen cells with intracytoplasmic and intranuclear inclusions. Periodic acid-Schiff(PAS) and Gomori's methenamine silver(CMS) stains showed more prominent inclusions. The immunohistochemical stain using cytomegalovirus antibody(CMV Ab) showed strong positivity So it seems to us that was a good example of oral CMV infection in AIDS patient. Therefore we report one case of CMV stomatitis in AIDS patient.
