Cytomegalovirus (CMV) ulcerations are rare clinical entities, but their occurrence is favored in immunocompromised patients who present a favorable environment for opportunistic infections. We describe the case of a patient treated for a systemic lupus erythematosus suffering from deep oral ulcerations. The case illustrates the complexity of establishing a precise etiological diagnosis of CMV lesions, as the diagnostic hypothesis can be varied: related to an immunodeficiency disorder or drug-induced toxidermia.

Article Synopsis
- Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a β-herpesvirus with a double-stranded linear DNA genome that produces non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) and alters the expression of these ncRNAs in infected host cells.
- The abnormal expression of ncRNAs linked to HCMV infection negatively impacts cellular functions, potentially leading to issues like cell growth, apoptosis, cancer development, immune system problems, and cardiovascular diseases.
- This review provides a comprehensive overview of how HCMV affects ncRNA expression and suggests new approaches to mitigate the harmful effects of HCMV infection.

We report a case of cytomegalovirus- (CMV-) induced buccal ulcer in a patient with nephrotic syndrome. An 82-year-old man with membranous nephropathy was on immunosuppressive therapy presented with an ulcer in the oral cavity and was hospitalized. Intraoral examination revealed an inflamed and painful ulcer on the left buccal mucosa.

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is the most common malignant tumor originating in major and minor salivary glands (SGs). Although the precise multifactorial etiology of human SG-MEC is largely unknown, we have recently shown that cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an important component of MEC tumorigenesis. Despite the well-documented overexpression of the EGFR → ERK signaling pathway in SG-MEC, there has been limited to no clinical success with inhibition of this pathway.
