“…The JMS nodule is a skin metastasis from abdominopelvic cancer [8] . Its incidence is low, representing 1%-3% of all abdominopelvic neoplasms with a poor prognosis due to its late diagnostic, especially in a country with limited resources [1] . The gastrointestinal sphere is the most frequent site of the primary tumor in 35%- 65% of cases followed by a gynecologic origin in 12%-35% [9] .…”

“…Sister Marie Joseph's (JMS) nodule is a cutaneous umbilical metastasis of gastro-intestinal tract cancer or gynecologic area [1] . It represents a discreet and rare clinical sign, which does not show the existence only of a malignant visceral tumor, but which also reveals the bad prognosis of these cancers due to the late diagnosis [2] .…”

It was about a 61-year-old patient who presented an indurated and painless umbilical swelling surrounded by ulcerated plaque and an abdominal arch progressing for 8 months. Abdomino-pelvic ultrasound and abdominal-pelvic CT scan revealed in right ovarian the presence of a mass with a cystic's tissue, a thickness with a subcutaneous infiltration of the umbilical region and the diffuse infiltration of gastric parietal mesenteric fat. Histology of the ovarian mass confirmed Krükenberg's tumor and that of the Sister Marie-Joseph's nodule confirmed umbilical skin metastasis. The primary was a well differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma. The death occurred after the first chemotherapy treatment. The association of Krükenberg's tumor with Sister Marie-Joseph's nodule, rare and unusual, has been revealing of a gastric adenocarcinoma which up to now was unknown and asymptomatic.

“…Sister Mary Joseph's nodule (SMJ) is a palpable cutaneous umbilical nodule, most often secondary to a metastasis from an abdomino-pelvic malignancy. Classically, the primary tumor is an adenocarcinoma in 75%, most commonly of gastric, ovarian, colonic or pancreatic origin [1,3].…”

“…Sister Marie-Joseph's nodule is an exceptional metastatic localization of a cancer, most often an intraabdominal and/or a pelvic one. It is a discreet and rare clinical sign, which not only shows the occurrence of a visceral malignant tumor but also the poor prognosis of this tumor [1,2]. It has a problem of etiological diagnosis because the search for the primary tumor is not always easy.…”

Case Report Sister Mary Joseph's nodule (SMJN) is a metastatic umbilical tumor. It is a very rare condition, with a poor prognosis; however, it can be the first sign of intra-abdominal cancer, most commonly an adenocarcinoma metastasis from a gastrointestinal or gynecologic primary malignancy. We report a case of umbilical skin metastasis (or Sister Marie-Joseph's nodule) revealing bilateral ovarian adenocarcinoma in a 61-year-old patient. And through this case we emphasize on the delayed diagnosis associated with this tumor.

Background: When physicians see an umbilical nodule, most of them instinctively recall the Sister Mary Joseph nodule. Therefore, dermatologists need to recognize umbilical dermatoses that can be mistaken for the Sister Mary Joseph nodules. This study aimed to describe the different kinds of benign umbilical tumors as well as elucidate the factors that can be used to distinguish the Sister Mary Joseph nodule from these tumors. Methods: The “benign umbilical tumor” group included 19 patients, whereas the “Sister Mary Joseph nodule” group comprised 30 patients (2 from our department, 28 from PubMed search). We compared the clinical and dermoscopic findings between 2 groups. Results: In the “benign umbilical tumor” group, the most common diagnosis was dermatofibroma (5/19), followed by keloid (3/19), and soft fibroma (3/19). These tumors had various colors (red, brown to black, and flesh colored) and exhibit characteristic surface changes (eg, verrucous changes in epidermal nevi and verrucae). Conversely, most Sister Mary Joseph nodules have an erythematous color, oozing or ulceration on the surface, and nearby satellite lesions. Furthermore, the dermoscopic findings of Sister Mary Joseph nodules showed a polymorphous vascular pattern and a white or milky-red, amorphous area. Benign lesions showed different dermoscopic patterns: pigment networks with white areas (dermatofibromas), thrombosed capillaries (verrucae), and the “pore sign” (epidermal cysts). Conclusions: Various cutaneous tumors can be mistaken for the Sister Mary Joseph nodule when they develop on the umbilicus; the clinical and dermoscopic differences found in this study may be useful for establishing a differential diagnosis.
