Abstract:
Sister Mary Joseph nodules are very rare. They are commonly caused by gastrointestinal tract and ovarian cancers, but they are seen rarely in uterine carcinoma, lung carcinoma, breast carcinoma, and others. We present F-FDG PET/CT findings in a 55-year-old woman with endometrial adenocarcinoma, who presented with a mass protruding from the umbilicus after surgery and pelvic radiotherapy.
