Rectal ameboma: A new entity in the differential diagnosis of rectal cancerMemis, Kemal BugraCelik, Ayse SenaAydin, SonayKantarci, MecitAmebomaAmoebic colitisRectal massImmunocompetent patientImaging findingsAMEBIASISGastroenterology & HepatologySurgeryWe examined the case report written by Ke et al, describing a rare clinical case. In this editorial, we would like to emphasize the differential diagnosis of rectal masses through a rare case. We describe a case of ameboma, which manifested itself as a mass in the rectum in terms of imaging and rectoscopic features, in an immunocompetent patient who had complaints of constipation and rectal bleeding for weeks. The initial diagnosis suggested malignancy due to imaging and rectoscopic features, but the pathology report reported it as amoebiasis. After ten days of metronidazole and oral amebicide (diloxanide furoate) treatment, the patient's symptoms and radiological findings were successfully regressed.BAISHIDENG PUBLISHING GROUP INC2025Editorialhttps://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/ebyu/16472https://doi.org/10.4240/wjgs.v17.i1.1002781948-9366enWORLD JOURNAL OF GASTROINTESTINAL SURGERYinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://ebyu-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/ebyu/16472
