Sister Mary Joseph nodule: an often overlooked or misdiagnosed entity on imaging

Sister Mary Joseph nodule: an often overlooked or misdiagnosed entity on imaging: We present an example of a patient with known primary pancreatic adenocarcinoma found to have an umbilical nodule as the first manifestation of metastatic disease after an initial misdiagnosis on computed tomography. In addition, we delineate the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion and pattern recognition for SMJN during imaging when a patient presents with umbilical pain in the setting of known malignancy, since early diagnosis can alter management.
