It is often isolated from individuals having weakened or suppressed immune system because of either human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, transplantation, malignancies or immune suppressing medications. Here we describe a case of gastro-intestinal CMV infection in a renal transplant patient that had presented as colonic pseudo tumor. As CMV induced pseudo-tumors may respond to medical therapy, physicians treating immunosuppressed individuals should be wary of it for better management of the condition.
