Abstract
ABSTRACT
Sister Mary Joseph's nodule is a metastatic umbilical nodule usually associated with the primary neoplasm of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tract. Umbilical metastasis is rare in clinical practice. It can be the first sign of an undiagnosed neoplasm or can appear as a recurrence or progression of an already known tumor, and usually indicate poor prognosis. We report three cases of Sister Mary Joseph's nodule which emphasize the importance of correctly diagnosing an umbilical nodule.
RÉSUMÉ
Le nodule de Sœur Marie-Joseph est une métastase cutanée ombilicale d'un cancer du tractus gastrointestinal ou de la sphère gynécologique. C'est une lésion rare qui peut être inaugurale ou apparaître dans le cadre d'un cancer connu et signe une récidive ou une progression néoplasique. Sa présence est souvent associée à un mauvais pronostic. Nous rapportons 03 cas de nodule de soeur Mary Joseph qui soulignent l'importance de diagnostiquer correctement un nodule ombilical.
