Abstract

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