  • Title: Amebic liver abscess with hepatoduodenal fistula.
    Author: Mowji PJ, Cohen AJ, Potkin B, Viltuznik J.
    Journal: Am J Gastroenterol; 1987 Jun; 82(6):558-9. PubMed ID: 3578237.
    Abstract:
    Common complications of amebic liver abscesses include rupture into the thorax, pericardium, and peritoneum. Rupture into the gastrointestinal tract is extremely rare. We report a case of an amebic liver abscess rupturing into the duodenum, forming a wide fistulous tract. To our knowledge, this is the first case with radiological confirmation.
