[Ileocecal ameboma: a case diagnosed by pathology and molecular biology].
Colonic ameboma is a rare benign inflammatory tumor due to the infection by Entamoeba histolytica and poses frequently the problem of colon cancer. We report a case of a 52 year-old patient who presented a cecal amoeboma revealed by a painful mass in the right iliac fossa. Radiologic and endoscopic examinations depicted a parietal thickening of the right colon and the cecum. A presumptive diagnosis of colon cancer was firstly discussed. Confirmation of ameboma was made on pathological examination, PCR and serology.
