Hepatic amebic abscess masquerading as acute cholecystitis.

Hepatobiliary scintigraphy has disclosed a host of intrahepatic and extrahepatic lesions which mimic gallbladder disease. Two cases of hepatic amebic abscess are reported in which the presentations masqueraded as acute cholecystitis. Correlative, noninvasive imaging rapidly diagnosed both cases and in 1 case identified a serious complication.
