Cytomegalovirus (CMV) lymphadenitis and tonsillitis were subclinical infections, not primary CMV infection with IM-like syndrome. The lymphadenopathy typically developed a few years after lymphoma treatments in the middle-aged and the elderly. The lesions mimicked lymphoma relapse in PET scans. Therefore, recognizing CMV infection in lymphoid tissues is of clinical importance.
