We present an interesting case of a 76-year-old Caucasian lady with locally invasive transverse colon carcinoma who presented initially with gallbladder empyema and later with upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case reported in the literature who presented in this way.</span></span> UR - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21948294 UR - http://link.springer.com/journal/12029/43/1/suppl/page/1 ER -
