Cytomegalovirus Colitis Masquerading as a Recurrent Colonic Polyp in a Patient With Neurofibromatosis Type 1.

Cytomegalovirus colitis most commonly affects immunocompromised patients, although it is a rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding in immunocompetent patients. Older age, chronic disease, and critical illness are also important risk factors and may lead providers to consider the diagnosis in otherwise immunocompetent patients. Endoscopic presentation is variable and does not significantly influence outcomes.
