ABSTRACT
Sister Mary Joseph nodule (SMJN) is a rare clinical finding in patients with metastatic adenocarcinoma. This is a case report of a 69-year-old man, who presented with a cutaneous element by his umbilicus at his GP. He was referred to a dermatologist, then a plastic surgeon. The element was a metastasis from adenocarcinoma originating from his caecum. It is important for doctors to know of SMJN as a rare presentation of metastatic cancer, and to clinically examine the patient for an abdominal starting point, when presented with a cutaneous tumour at the position of the umbilicus.
