Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection of the gastrointestinal tract occurs in both immunocompromised and immunocompetent hosts. Often presenting as ulcerative lesions, CMV infection rarely presents as a mass lesion in the gastrointestinal tract. We present a case of a discrete colonic mass caused by CMV infection in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). This case illustrates that an infectious process such as CMV should be considered along with malignancy as the etiology of a mass lesion present in the gastrointestinal tract of patients with AIDS.
巨细胞病毒(CMV)胃肠道感染在免疫功能低下和免疫功能正常的宿主中均可发生。CMV感染常表现为溃疡性病变,在胃肠道中很少表现为肿块性病变。我们报告一例获得性免疫缺陷综合征(AIDS)患者因CMV感染导致的孤立性结肠肿块病例。该病例表明,对于AIDS患者胃肠道中出现的肿块性病变,在病因学上应将CMV等感染性过程与恶性肿瘤一并考虑。
