An upper gastrointestinal GI hemorrhage required an endoscopic examination which demonstrated a larger ulcer of the gastric antrum interpreted as suspicious of malignancy. Gastric cytomegalovirus (CMV) inclusion bodies, indicating CMV infection, were detected in the biopsy tissue from the edge of the gastric ulcer.
