摘要

Fulminant amebic colitis is an uncommon manifestation of amebiasis. The computed tomography (CT) appearance of fulminant amebic colitis (FAC) is rarely reported. Understanding the pathologic change of FAC may help recognize the characteristic CT findings of FAC. The classic pathologic feature of FAC is the macroscopic appearance. FAC usually shows multiple sites of necrosis and perforation of the colon, ranging from superficial ulcer, flask-shaped ulcer to transmural necrosis. Extended submucosal ulcer with intramural dissection is the characteristic CT finding of FAC. Other important CT findings include pancolitis with multiple foci of target sign and discontinuous bowel necrosis.
