RESUMO

The amebic liver abscess in newborns is an uncommon disease. There are few cases reported in the literature. This is a case of a 20 day-old female newborn who presented an abdominal mass, yellowish diarrheic depositions and jaundice. An abdominal CT scan showed a cystic mass located in the right hepatic lobe. The laboratory exams confirmed the amebic etiology. The clinical treatment failed and the surgery was decided. The pathologic results confirmed the diagnosis of an amebic liver abscess. Eight days after the resection the patient died because of a necrotizing enterocolitis.
