Cytomegalovirus endometritis in a non-immunosuppressed patient presenting as recurrent pyometra: A case report
Journal Title: Journal of Interdisciplinary Histopathology - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Cytomegalovirus infection of the female genital tract is a rare entity. We present a case of 70-year-old woman who came with recurrent pyometra but was otherwise in good health. Hysterectomy was done, and the endometrium showed occasional stromal cells with karyomegaly and intranuclear eosinophilic inclusions consistent with cytomegalovirus infection and dense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate. This was an incidental finding in an otherwise immunocompetent non-pregnant woman, hence being reported for its rarity and uncommon presentation.
