An 82-year-old woman was followed up for an uterine cervical adenocarcinoma treated by surgery. A whole-body fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography study revealed a pathologic fluorodeoxyglucose uptake located in the umbilicus associated to peritoneal carcinomatosis. Biopsy of the umbilical nodule demonstrated an umbilical metastasis from the uterine adenocarcinoma, the so-called "Sister Mary Joseph's nodule."
