Abstract
Genitourinary involvement is one of the rare manifestations of extraintenstinal amoebiasis. Vulvovaginal and
cervical ulcers have been described but endometrial involvement is rarely reported. One should suspect this entity in all
cases of unexplained vaginal discharge. We report a case of endometrial amoebiasis in a postmenopausal woman who
presented with pain abdomen and blood mixed vaginal discharge and initially suspected to be a case of endometrial
carcinoma.
