Sister Mary Joseph's nodule is an umbilical nodule found in patients with metastatic abdominal cancers. It is quite rare finding and needs a high index of suspicion for diagnosis. Detection of Sister Mary Joseph's nodule should warrant widespread search for abdominal carcinoma and it universally carries quite poor clinical prognosis.

A brief discussion about this rare condition is also presented.
