The case report of a 2 years child whose mother took to the outpatient service due to dark urines and abdominal pain in some occasions is presented. A non painful hepatomegaly was found in the physical examination that surpassed in 2 cm the right costal edge. Multiple hepatic calcifications were observed in the abdominal echography and the polymerase chain reaction technique, either in serum or blood, was positive to cytomegalovirus. The results of these exams, as well as the mother and child history allowed to diagnose a congenital infection due to cytomegalovirus. The patient had a favorable clinical course and he stayed asymptomatic up to the elaboration of this work
