Popis: A 26-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with epigastric pain, a husky voice, high-grade fever, hepatosplenomegaly and enlargement of the kidneys. An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed scattered non-circular erythematous erosions, up to 5mm in diameter, in the gastric body and fornix. A histological examination of the biopsied specimens stained with hematoxylin and eosin showed the presence of intranuclear inclusion bodies in the glandular epithelial cells. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) antigen was found in the inclusion bodies using the enzyme-labeled antibody method. Subsequently, a needle biopsy taken from the kidney revealed a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Our review of the literature indicates that CMV-induced gastric lesions are endoscopically characteristic and can be diagnosed from their multiple, erythematous, non-circular depressed lesions.
