We present the case of a 72-year-old woman who presented with, to our knowledge, the largest reported Sister Mary Joseph lesion in the literature. Often associated with a poor prognosis, the patient went on to have a wide local excision of the lesion and has made a full recovery 2 years after the nodule initially developed. Histological examination confirmed the presence of underlying endometrial cancer and the patient subsequently underwent a total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oopherectomy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
