Description

Background: Umbilical metastases known as Sister Mary Josephʼs nodule (SMJN) occur rarely. Pancreatic cancer presenting as an SMJN is a rare phenomenon.
<br>Case: An 73-year-old woman with 2 month history of exudation and inflammation in the umbilical region. We performed the outpatient care, so inflammation was gradually improved. However omphalitis was repeated, a painful tumor was gradually increased to about 20mm in diameter. Computed tomography revealed a 40mm diameter tumor located in the pancreatic body, in addition to a 20mm diameter umbilical tumor. Umbilical tumor was performed a biopsy and diagnosed as adenocarcinoma.
<br>The patient received S-1 for chemotherapy. She died 12months from the first medical examination.
