title: Caecal amebic colitis mimicking obstructing right sided colonic carcinoma with liver metastases: a rare case.
abstract: Intestinal Entamoeba Histolytica infection can lead to colitis, abscess formation, colonic perforation and rarely amoeboma. We report a case of colonic amoebiasis, in which the presenting symptoms and radiological findings closely resembled an obstructing right-sided colonic carcinoma, with liver metastases.
