Abstract

We report the case of a patient with primary brain tumor who developed cytomegalovirus associated colonic pseudotumor as an opportunistic infection while receiving chemotherapy with Temozolomide and radiation. This case highlights the potential for severe opportunistic infections in this patient population after severe immunosuppression.
