Abstract: This report presents a classic case of CMV esophagitis, which may be puzzling to distinguish from other infectious esophageal lesions. Giant (>1 cm) and deep esophageal lesions in immunocompromised patients may suggest CMV esophagitis. A biopsy with immunostaining is needed to confirm the diagnosis.<br />Competing Interests: None.<br /> (© 2022 The Authors. Clinical Case Reports published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.)
