Sister Mary Joseph's Nodules As the Presenting Symptom of Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma: a Case Report

Sister Mary Joseph's nodule as the presenting symptom of primary peritoneal cancer is quite a rare finding. The authors report here an 82-year-old patient with Sister Mary Joseph's nodule. She was diagnosed with primary peritoneal cancer and treated with surgical excision. Histological examination showed a papillary as well as a tubular pattern in the tumor. Adjuvant chemotherapy was administered but was discontinued because of the occurrence of pancytopenia. Although she could not avail of combination therapy, no recurrence has been observed at until now.
