Sister Mary Joseph's Nodule (sister + mary_joseph_nodule)
Selected AbstractsFine-needle aspiration cytology of Sister Mary Joseph's (paraumbilical) nodulesDIAGNOSTIC CYTOPATHOLOGY, Issue 5 2008Uma Handa M.D. Abstract During a period of 5 years (2001,2005), six cases of Sister Mary Joseph's nodule (umbilical metastasis) were diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). In all the cases, FNAC of umbilical nodules was the first investigation and subsequently the patients were investigated for the primary tumor. The primary carcinoma was found in the stomach in three cases, ovary in two cases and one case was of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Based on our findings, we suggest FNAC as an initial diagnostic procedure in cases suspected of umbilical metastasis. It is not only simple, fast, accurate and inexpensive but can also save the patient from other invasive diagnostic procedures. Diagn. Cytopathol. 2008;36:348,350. © 2008 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

[source] Umbilical metastasis from prostate carcinoma (Sister Mary Joseph's nodule): a case report and review of literatureJOURNAL OF CUTANEOUS PATHOLOGY, Issue 7 2007Bahram Sina Sister Mary Joseph's nodule is referred to as metastatic lesion of the umbilicus. Most of the tumors are adenocarcinomas originating from gastroenteric and genital tracts. Only rarely were metastases from other locations reported. We describe here an unusual case of a Sister Mary Joseph's nodule that was metastasized from prostate carcinoma 3 years after radiation therapy. The lesion was the first sign of metastatic disease, and the diagnosis was made on skin biopsy. The patient died of extensive metastases of prostate carcinoma 4 months later. We report this case to extend the list of differential diagnosis for Sister Mary Joseph's nodule in male patients and emphasize the importance of Sister Mary Joseph's nodule as an ominous diagnostic sign.

It is a tumour viability agent and usually its uptake within a lesion reflects the presence of a viable tumour tissue. However, false-positive FDG uptake is known to occur in benign processes of either inflammatory or infectious aetiology. We describe FDG uptake at the site of laparoscopic scar that mimicked Sister Mary Joseph's nodule in a patient with gastric adenocarcinoma. Here, the knowledge of the patient's history and subtle imaging findings helped in accurate staging of the patient. In this case report, we emphasize the value of the knowledge of the patient history and awareness of different pitfalls of FDG to achieve a correct diagnosis on positron emission tomography/CT.
