    Author: Ng DC, Kwok SY, Cheng Y, Chung CC, Li MK.
    Journal: Hong Kong Med J; 2006 Feb; 12(1):71-3. PubMed ID: 16495594.
    Abstract:
    Amoebiasis is an uncommon disease in developed countries. Its clinical presentation can be variable and non-specific, and the diagnosis can be easily overlooked. We report a case of colonic amoebic abscess mimicking advanced colonic cancer with acute intestinal obstruction and liver metastasis. The presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of amoebiasis are also reviewed.
