Kutanöz amebiyaz temel olarak deriyi etkileyen bir amebiyaz (amebiyazis) türünü ifade eder. Bu durum Acanthamoeba [ 2] [ 3] Entamoeba histolytica [ 4] [ 5] Acanthamobea ile ilişkili olarak ortaya çıkarsa kutanöz acanthamoebiasis olarak adlandırılır.[ 6] Balamuthia mandrillaris [ 7] [ 8] ülserlerle karakterizedir. Kutanöz amebiyaz tanısı için yüksek miktarda klinik şüphe gerekir. Bu şüphenin, lezyonlarda trofozoit tespit edilerek desteklenmesi gerekir. Bu durum, erken tanı yapılamazsa ciddi morbiditeye yol açabilir.[ 9]
