Colonic adenocarcinoma with urinary bladder wall extension presenting as an anterior abdominal abscess is a very rare occurrence. We present our rural experience and challenges with this pattern of presentation in a 65-year-old woman who had drainage of abscess, partial cystectomy and right hemicolectomy. She also received three (3) cycles of chemotherapy before she defaulted during the heat of the covid-19 pandemic in 2020. A follow-up call revealed she died at home after a brief undiagnosed febrile illness.
