Amebiasis is a fecal-oral transmitted parasitic infection caused by the protozoan and is generally seen in migrants and travelers of endemic areas. Extraintestinal infection often involves the liver, causing amebic liver abscesses. Twenty to thirty percent of these patients have pleuropulmonary involvement as a complication.

This report documents a unique multicystic neoplasm of the liver in an 8-month-old boy with a heterozygous germline pathogenic DICER1 variant. This neoplasm, initially considered most likely a mesenchymal hamartoma based on imaging, demonstrated the characteristic histologic pattern of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma residing in the subepithelial or cambium layer-like zone of the epithelial-lined cysts. Thus, although the differential diagnosis includes mesenchymal hamartoma, a young child with a multicystic mass lesion in the liver, lung, or kidney should both raise the possibility of a germline pathogenic DICER1 variant and also not be mistaken for one of the other hepatic neoplasms of childhood.

DICER1 tumor predisposition syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that predisposes individuals to multiple benign and malignant neoplasms. The phenotype is vast and includes pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB), thyroid nodules, cystic nephroma, Wilms tumor, ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor, and medulloepithelioma, among others. Herein, we describe a patient with a germline pathogenic variant presenting with two neoplasms that are not commonly encountered in the context of DICER1 syndrome.
