Abstract
Sister Mary Joseph’s nodule refers to the metastasis of visceral malignancy to the umbilicus, most commonly of gastrointestinal origin. The noteworthy characteristics of this lesion are its more approachable diagnosis on physical examination, its high association with intra-abdominal malignancy, and its faculty to provide a diagnosis with easily performed methods such as fine needle aspiration biopsy
