Synthia, a 13 year old girl, presented to the hospital after about a month of fevers and abdominal pain. On physical exam, a right upper quadrant mass could be felt. Ultrasound (thank you Micromaxx) showed a number of masses that appeared to be abscesses. Needle aspiration revealed fluid consistent with amoebas. She was taken to the operating room and over 1 liter of pus was removed. She did very well post operatively and this picture is about 1 month after discharge.
