ABSTRACT
A 68-year-old Korean woman was consulted to the department of dermatology to evaluate ulcerated lesions on the perianal area, which developed about 3 weeks after a cadaveric renal trans-plantation. Histopathologic examination showed large atypical cytomegalic cells in the upper dermis. Polymerase chain reaction(PCR) study revealed positive cytomegalovirus(CMV) deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA) from the skin tissue. We herein present a case of cutaneous CMV infection presenting as perianal ulcers.
