dc.description.abstractAmoebic liver abscess is the commonest extra intestinal manifestation of amoebiasis. Intraperitoneal rupture of liver abscess and fulminant necrotizing amoebic colitis are rare occurrences which complicate a severe form of invasive disease caused by Entamoeba histolytica. These complications are associated with a high morbidity and mortality. Synchronous pathological lesions in colon and liver are rare. Still rare is the occurrence of complicated colonic and hepatic invasive amoebiasis presenting as an acute abdomen. One such presentation of ruptured liver abscess and necrotizing amoebic colitis in a 70 year old male which was successfully managed is being reported.en_US
