Popis: Metastatic umbilical carcinoma has been referred to by generations of physicians as Sister Joseph's nodule. Though not common, this characteristic lesion is important to recognize and properly evaluate. We present a case of an eighty-two-year-old woman with a Sister Joseph's nodule due to an unknown primary carcinoma, and we review the diagnostic and prognostic features of umbilical metastases.
