Sister Mary Joseph nodule as the presenting sign of disseminated prostate carcinoma

Abstract: Sister Mary Joseph's nodule is referred to as metastasis of visceral malignancy to the umbilicus. Most common primaries are in the gastrointestinal or genital tract, while other locations are rare. We recently encountered a 76-year-old male who was referred to the surgery clinic with an erythematous nodule in the umbilicus measuring 6 cm in diameter with complaints of painless profuse hematuria. History revealed severe obstructive voiding symptoms of 2-year duration, along with significant loss of weight and d… Show more

“…It is an indication of poor prognostic outcome where palliation is the mainstay of patient management. Also, an estimated 1-3% of abdomino-pelvic malignancies arising from the stomach, pancreas, colon, prostate and liver manifest with umbilical metastasis (7,(10)(11)(12)(13). Other uncommon primary origins include the breast, lung, ovary and kidney.…”

“…The nodule may also be the first indication of occult or recurrent malignancy. However, 11-30% of cases of umbilical metastasis have no known primary disease (7,13). Metastatic lesions from gynaecological malignancies usually spread to contiguous pelvic structures and lymph nodes.…”

“…Als mögliche Ausbreitungswege werden neben der per continuitatem Infiltration (über das Peritonealblatt), arterielle und venöse Gefäße sowie Ligamente embryonaler Herkunft und Lymphbahnen diskutiert [2,8]. Im vorliegenden Fall führte wahrscheinlich eine Lymphangiosis carcinomatosa zur Umbilikalmetastase, die möglicherweise aus einem (paravesikalen) Lokalrezidiv gespeist wurde.…”
