We present the case of a 60-year-old female patient who had been treated for angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) at the hematology department of our hospital. The patient had been suffering from tenderness on the right margin of the tongue since one month before, for which she was referred to our department. Histopathological examination performed at our department pathologically revealed the presence of cytomegalovirus antigen positive cells, which, along with the clinical findings, led to the diagnosis of stomatitis caused by cytomegalovirus. Because the lesion showed a tendency toward improvement, the decision was made to conservatively follow this patient, since when her tongue has been in good condition without relapse of stomatitis. We herein report our experience with this case of cytomegalovirus stomatitis, and discuss the relevant literature.
