Summary:The immediate prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient with erosive cutaneous cytomegalovirus (CMV) is presented. Although CMV is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients, skin lesions are rarely discussed in the literature. Recognition of the susceptibility of medically compromised patients to infections that can cause extraoral and intraoral deformity is essential to prevention, early diagnosis, and prompt intervention of a life-threatening destructive debilitation. A method for rapidly fabricating a nasal prosthesis is described, and the importance of prompt esthetic and psychological rehabilitation is reviewed.
