Abstract
We report a case of multiple hepatic amebic abcesses, in a young Lebanese male patient living in Abidjan. These abcesses were revealed by fever and an acute pain in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. Biological, namely serological, and ultrasonographic and magnetic resonance imaging abnormalities were noted. The patient responded favorably to metronidazole, and the short term evolution was good. A literature review was done, since the hepatic amebic abcess is becoming rare in our country.
