Abstract

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive mucocutaneous ulcer is a lymphoproliferative disorder occurring in patients due to iatrogenic or age-related immunosuppression confined to the oropharynx, skin, and gastrointestinal tract. Here, we report the first case to our knowledge of EBV-positive mucocutaneous ulcer occurring in a gallbladder.
