Abstract

Amoebiasis is an infection with the parasitic intestinal protozoan Entamoeba histolytica (E. histolytica). Most infections are usually asymptomatic, but the disease spectrum can range from dysentery to extraintestinal infections, including liver abscesses. The management of a 68-year-old male with amoeboma, a rare manifestation of intestinal amoebiasis, is described along with a review of literature.
