title: [Genital amebiasis and cancer].
abstract: Genital amebiasis is not a frequent entity. Its association with cancer is still more rare. The author found just two other cases reported in the literature reviewed since 1892 up to date. A clinico-pathologic study was made of 4 cases of this uncommon coexistence: in two patients the lesions were located in the vulva; in the other two at the cervix uteri. Two of them showed eczematous reactions that disappeared with the antiamebian treatment; they were considered as Amebids, though mechanisms of photosensitivity.
