A special discovery of pancreatic adenocarcinoma by Sister Marie Joseph’s Nodule: what is the prognosis?DOI: - Subject Areas: Clinical Medicine, Surgery & Surgical Specialties Keywords: Cutaneous metastasis, pancreatic cancer, chemotherapy, nodule of Sister Mary Joseph Abstract Cutaneous metastases of visceral tumours are uncommon and might have umbilical and/or extra umbilical locations. The umbilical location, also named "Nodule of Sister Marie-Joseph" among 7 to 9% are secondary to a pancreatic tumour. In this article, we reported a case of a 50-years-old man presenting pancreatic cancer discovered by umbilical nodules and weight loss noticed 3 months earlier treated by palliative chemotherapy. We report this case of rare presentation of cutaneous metastases of pancreatic disease to insist on its bad prognosis level. Chaouch, M. A. , Chaouch, A. , Nacef, K. and Boudokhane, M.
