Abstract EN
An elderly woman with multiple medical problems developed cytomegalovirus (CMV) colitis following a prolonged hospitalization.
She presented life–threatening colonic bleeding mimicking a neoplastic process while the final diagnosis was CMV colitis.
This is an uncommon presentation of CMV colitis in an immunocompetent patient needing a high index of suspicion to proceed early with proper diagnosis and therapy.
