Abstract:
:Umbilical metastasis from intra-abdominal or pelvic malignancy, which is called Sister Mary Joseph's nodule (SMJN), is rare, and it has a poor prognosis. Its most common primary sites are the stomach and ovaries. SMJN caused by colon cancer is uncommon. A 42-year-old woman visited local clinics with complaints of an umbilical mass. After a detailed examination, she was diagnosed with peritoneal and umbilical metastasis caused by colon cancer. A radical surgery was performed after 12 months of chemotherapy. 6 months later, local recurrence and ovarian metastasis were suspected. Further radical surgery was performed, and 14 months after that (50 months after starting treatment), no recurrences have been observed. We experienced a long-term survival case of SMJN caused by colon cancer and treated with a multidisciplinary approach.
