Fulminant necrotising amoebic colitis is a complication of
untreated amoebiasis. This is seen in mainly low-income
countries. It has a high mortality rate and is difficult to
diagnose. We present an extremely rare case of fulminant
necrotising amoebic colitis that caused diagnostic
confusion in mimicking an acute abdomen, presumably
caused by a perforated duodenal ulcer.

Myxoid liposarcoma is the major subtype of liposarcoma and commonly presents in the
extremities, particularly in the thigh. We introduce an unusual case of a myxoid liposarcoma
presenting as a large perineal swelling occupying the para-rectal and para-anal spaces in a 49-yearold
male patient. The diagnosis, management, and prognosis of myxoid liposarcoma are discussed.
A literature review is performed for myxoid liposarcoma.
