Abstract

Background: Mass-like lesions are an uncommon presentation of cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease.<br />Case: We report on a case of disseminated CMV disease with bilateral adrenal pseudotumors in a patient with a history of acute leukemia in remission.<br />Conclusion: In the settings of advanced cancer therapy and organ transplantation, a high index of suspicion for CMV should be maintained for mass-like disease.
