Sometimes, colorectal tumours may infiltrate local structures and present in a different manner. 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>
