Abstract

The nodule of Sister Marie Joseph is a rare tumor whose origin is abdominopelvic. The prognosis is pejorative. We report the case of a patient with umbilical metastasis of a gastric adenocarcinoma treated in the medical oncology department at HASSAN II university hospital of Fez, Morocco. The aim of this work is to show the rarity of this entity and describe the clinical, radiological, pathological, and prognostic features, in addition to therapeutic management.
