|May 27, 2025
Abstract:
This is a short review about a rare metastatic physical finding of abdomino-pelvic malignancies that is called Sister Mary Joseph's nodule. It is cutaneous metastasis in the umbilical region and it was first used almost 200 years ago. Even though it is a rare finding, we should not forget it in the differential diagnosis of umbilical nodules. The article also includes two case reports.

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.

Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
