ABSTRACT
A 72-year-old male, a known case of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, was admitted for recurrent empyema. He was found to have developed a colo-pleural fistula, secondary to a small primary carcinoma of the splenic flexure of the colon. This rare complication should be considered in the case of chronic treatment-resistant empyema
