[Amebic liver abscess]

Hepatic abscesses represent the most common non-enteric complication of amebic infection, and occur in 1-25% of the patients. We describe two male patients, 44 and 47 years old, who presented hepatic abscesses after travelling in endemic regions. We stress the importance of accurate and early diagnosis. Ultrasonography and computed tomography were of major importance as diagnostic tools.
