Abstract

Two cases of cutaneous amoebiasis which presented as malignant ulcers are reported. In non-healing ulcers in the perianal or gluteal region, the possibility of amoebiasis should be kept in mind, especially in the tropics. An immediate examination of the scraping from the ulcer is sufficient to confirm or rule out the diagnosis.
