[A left pseudo-pleurisy syndrome manifesting as a liver abscess complicating malignant localized amebic colitis].
The authors report on a case of localised bipolar malignant colic amebiasis in a 34 year old man, as a complication of undiagnosed benin colic amebiasis; the initial signs consisted of left basi-thoracic symptoms for which a sub phrenic abcess secondary to rupture of two abcesses of the left lobe of the liver was responsible. The surgical intervention consisted of a right hemicolectomy without anastomosis with a double derivation by ileostomy colostomy and drainage of the abcesses. The evolution was rapidly fatal by an irreversible state of shock.
