Ultrasound scanning performed on a patient to exclude a liver abscess was negative but demonstrated a fluid-filled lesion situated at the lower pole of the right kidney. This was confirmed on excretory urography and angiography and aspiration produced typical amoebic pus. The evidence for this diagnosis and the probable route of infection are discussed. The literature on renal amoebiasis is reviewed.
