Abstract

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) remains one of the most important infections in kidney transplantation. Only a handful of images have been reported in the literature thus far. We present classic pathologic and gross images of CMV duodenitis in an immunosuppressed patient more than one year post-renal transplantation.
