This is a short review about a rare metastatic physical finding of abdomino-pelvic malignancies that is called Sister Mary Joseph's nodule. It is cutaneous metastasis in the umbilical region and it was first used almost 200 years ago. Even though it is a rare finding, we should not forget it in the differential diagnosis of umbilical nodules. The article also includes two case reports.
