PLAIN FILM ROENTGEN DIAGNOSIS OF AMEBIC HEPATIC ABSCESS

ALLAN G. SCHMIDT M.D.1

1 From the Department of Radiology, San Joaquin General Hospital, Stockton, california

The roentgenograms were reviewed in cases of proven amebic hepatic abscess, primary hepatoma, right subdiaphragmatic abscess, and acute cholecystitis.

Roentgenographic changes in the right lower hemithorax often represent secondary changes from right upper abdominal disease, but are nonspecific.

The absence of the hepatic angle with hepatomegaly and a distended gallbladder strongly suggest amebic liver abscess which can be confirmed by liver scanning.
