case_images: (A) Chest computed tomography (CT) showed a large amount of pleural effusion on the right side before treatment. (B) The features of the drainage fluid from liver abscess showing a milk-chocolate brown or a jam color before treatment. (C) Abdominal enhanced MRI showed a large solid cystic mass in the liver. (D) HEx200 Pathological section of liver tissue and in the red box is the amoeba trophozoite. (E) The drainage fluid from the liver abscess became clear and reduced after treatment. (F) Abdominal CT showed rupture of the right diaphragm, and the thoracic cavity was connected to the abdominal cavity as indicated by the red arrow.

case_images: Chest computed tomography (CT) showed a large amount of pleural effusion on the right side (Figure 1A). Closed thoracic drainage was performed and dark red turbid fluid was extracted. Percutaneous drainage was performed for the liver abscess and a jam-like turbid fluid was extracted (Figure 1B). A contrast-enhanced abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) indicated solid cystic masses with tumor-like characteristics (Figure 1C). The final pathological feedback confirmed the presence of amoeba trophozoites in the tissue (Figure 1D). Gradually, the drainage fluid from the chest and liver became clear and reduced (Figure 1E).
