ABSTRACT

El término “nódulo de la hermana María José” se refiere a la presencia de una lesión umbilical, generalmente de larga evolución,que representa una metástasis cutánea relacionada habitualmente con una neoplasia intra abdominal. Las metástasis umbilicales se presentan por lo general tardíamente en el curso de neoplasias, coincidentes o secundarias a carcinomatosis peritoneal. Su presencia es índice de mal pronóstico ya que se relaciona con una baja sobrevida. Habitualmente, al momento del diagnóstico, los recursos terapéuticos son escasos. A continuación se presenta el caso de una paciente de sexo femenino, intervenida 4 años previos a la consulta por carcinoma de endometrio, que presenta una tumoración abdominal compatible con el diagnostico de Nódulo de la Hermana María José, resultando ser una metástasis cutánea de su neoplasia previa.


The term “Sister Mary Joseph ́s nodule” is related to the presence of a long development umbilical lesion, usually representing a cutaneous metastasis from an intraabdominal neoplasia. Umbilical metastases often are present lately in the course of neoplasias, coincident or secondary to peritoneal carcinomatosis, and are a poor prognosis indicator associated with low survival. Treatment resources are scarce at the time of diagnosis. We report a female patient, intervened four years ago because an endometrial carcinoma, with an abdominal tumor consistent with Sister Mary Joseph ́s nodule, turning out to be a cutaneous metastasis from her previous neoplasia.
