[Fulminant amebic colitis and ameboma in the same patient].

Fulminant amebic colitis is an infrequent complication of amebiasis with a high mortality rate. The presence of a tumoral mass caused by ameba (ameboma) in the rectum or the colon is also of rare occurrence and can cause diagnostic difficulties. We report the case of a pregnant 27 year old patient with the association of both pathologies.
