ABSTRACT
Isolated pulmonary amoebiasis without involvement of liver and other systems is extremely rare. Its presentation with superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome is not well documented. The case of 38-year-old male who developed SVC syndrome due to a large pulmonary amoebic abscess, which initially mimicked a pulmonary neoplasm with distal lung abscess is presented here. Subsequent bacteriological examination of the aspirated pus and the sputum along with suggestive serology confirmed the diagnosis of pulmonary amoebic abscess.
