Abstract

After a stay in the far east, a man aged 20 years developed difficulty in defaecation and slight difficulty in micturition. Rectoscopy revealed a stenosing tumour resembling a carcinoma. The tumour disappeared completely following treatment with amoebicides. Surgical treatment of amoebomata is associated with complications and is warned against.
