CASE 1: A 74-year-old man having a week's fever and diagnosed with a liver abscess was treated with several antibiotics and percutaneous liver drainage. His respiration gradually worsened and chest computed tomography (CT) showed right pleural effusion and a left-lung mass. Percutaneous fine needle aspiration of the pulmonary mass detected Entamoeba histolytica. CASE 2: A 44-year old, zoo office worker admitted for fever and right chest pain was found in CT to have right pleural effusion and a mass with a liver abscess necessitating abscess drainage. Injected contrast medium detected a fistula connected to the right. Following surgical drainage, E. histolytica was detected from the resected lung. Both cases responded well to metronidazole.
