Pseudo Sister Mary Joseph's nodule

R Amaro et al. Am J Gastroenterol. 1999 Jul.

Abstract

The Sister Mary Joseph's nodule is a significant finding in the physical examination. It is sometimes the only indication of an intra-abdominal metastatic malignancy. We report a patient who presented with an umbilical nodule that was discovered to be an omphalith. A review of the literature discusses the Sister Mary Joseph's nodule and this unusual finding.
