Sonography of umbilical metastasis (Sister Mary Joseph's nodule): from embryology to imaging
Abstract
Umbilical metastases are rare occurences. We describe the sonographic features of two cases with an umbilical nodule secondary to metastatic adenocarcinoma. A review of the literature discusses the embryologic and anatomic bases, differential diagnosis, and imaging approach.
