Although gallbladder cancer is a rare disease worldwide, north India has one of the highest incidences of this disease. We report a case of asymptomatic gall bladder cancer with brain metastasis. The patient presented with a scalp lump as the sole presenting feature, with no symptoms attributable to abdominal malignancy. Previously, the lump had been incised by a local practitioner who had probably misdiagnosed it as an abscess.
