Abstract
Examples are shown of amebiasis in which unusual roentgen features resemble [See figure in the pdf file] those of other diseases of the bowel. Ame biasis should be strongly considered in the differential diagnosis when roentgen examination has demonstrated any of the following: (a) ulceration of the colon, regardless of cecal involvement; (b) contracted cecum, regardless of normal or abnormal terminal ileum; and (c) multiple tumors or multiple constricted areas in the colon, regardless of normal or abnormal cecum.
