Abstract
Umbilical metastases [Sister Mary Joseph's nodules (SMJN)] are relatively rare and are associated usually with advanced intra-abdominal tumors from the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) or from the gynecological malignancies and they carry poor prognosis. Here we report a case of carcinoma caecum whose initial presentation was with umbilical metastases and a review of literature in relation to the umbilical metastases from colonic tumors.Entities:
