A 65-year-old man, in hospital for treatment for bladder carcinoma, was by chance found also to have a so far asymptomatic obstructive jaundice with hydrops of the gallbladder.

The patients, who initially declined operation, was five weeks later re-admitted with the clinical picture of an acute abdomen.
