Abstract
Sister Mary Joseph nodule or Sister Mary Joseph Sign refers to a palpable nodule bulging into the umbilicus as a result of metastasis of a malignant cancer in the pelvis or abdomen. The Sister Mary Joseph, was the first person who observed that the patients with advanced abdominal-pelvic malignancies, frequently presented a periumbilical palpable nodule.
