Histopathological diagnostics of liver amoebiasis in Cambodia.
Results of histopathological examination of a solitary chronical amoebic abscess in the liver of a patient from Cambodia are described. The abscess was at a proliferously reparative phase and Entamoeba histolytica was detected at the border between the necrosis and inner wall of abscess, as well as in the proper non-specific granulation tissue of the inner layers of abscess capsule. A differential diagnosis of the amoebic abscess from similar parasitary or pseudoparasitary liver lesions and differential diagnosis of amoebae in histological sections are given. For orientation examinations of the liver tissue for the presence of amoebae the authors recommend the impregnation after Grocott and staining with Goldner's trichrome for a more detailed evaluation of histological sections.
