    This case report details a rare amoebic lung abscess in a young Black man, occurring without concurrent liver infection. It highlights an unusual presentation of invasive amoebiasis.

    Area of Science:

    • Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pulmonology

    Background:

    • Amoebiasis is typically caused by Entamoeba histolytica, often presenting as hepatic abscess.
    • Pulmonary amoebiasis is a rare but serious manifestation, usually secondary to intestinal or hepatic infection.

    Observation:

    • A case of left upper lobe amoebic lung abscess is presented in a young Black male.
    • The patient had no pre-existing or concurrent diagnosis of hepatic amoebiasis.

    Findings:

    • The study describes a unique presentation of amoebic lung abscess.
    • Pathogenesis of this isolated pulmonary form of invasive amoebiasis is briefly discussed.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of potential clinical presentations of invasive amoebiasis.
