Sister Mary Joseph’s umbilical nodule designates an exceptional location umbilical metastatic of cancer, which is generally often pelvic adenocarcinoma. We report a case of this lesion due to adenocarcinoma of the ovary advanced in a patient, 58 years old who underwent surgery and chemotherapy. This nodule may indicate cancer or designates a recurrence. Adenocarcinoma is the most common histological type. Ovarian etiology is the leading cause in women. Faced with an umbilical metastasis, the prognosis is pejorative. Survival would be better however with combined surgery and chemotherapy treatment. So it must be known by the practitioner, because his recognition may allow early diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Abstract
Sister Mary Joseph’s umbilical nodule designates an exceptional location umbilical metastatic of cancer, which is generally often pelvic adenocarcinoma. We report a case of this lesion due to adenocarcinoma of the ovary advanced in a patient, 58 years old who underwent surgery and chemotherapy. This nodule may indicate cancer or designates a recurrence. Adenocarcinoma is the most common histological type. Ovarian etiology is the leading cause in women. Faced with an umbilical metastasis, the prognosis is pejorative. Survival would be better however with combined surgery and chemotherapy treatment. So it must be known by the practitioner, because his recognition may allow early diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Abstract: (french)
Le terme de nodule de Sœur Mary Joseph désigne une localisation métastatique ombilicale exceptionnelle d’un cancer, souvent pelvien qui est généralement un adénocarcinome. Nous rapportons une observation de cette lésion suite à un adénocarcinome de l’ovaire avancé chez une patiente de 58 ans ayant bénéficié d’un traitement chirurgical et de la chimiothérapie. Ce nodule peut être révélateur du cancer ou traduire une récidive. L’adénocarcinome est le type histologique le plus fréquent. L’étiologie ovarienne est la première cause chez la femme. Devant une métastase ombilicale, le pronostic demeure sombre. La survie serait cependant meilleure avec un traitement combiné chirurgie–chimiothérapie. Donc elle doit être connue par le praticien, car sa reconnaissance peut permettre un diagnostic précoce et un traitement adapté.
