The patient was a 63-year-old woman with diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Abdominal CT showed pancreatic head tumor and paraaortic lymph node metastasis. We performed chemotherapy with nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine. After 5 courses of chemotherapy, the tumor reduced in size. Pancreaticoduodenectomy followed by adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 was performed. Fourteen months after surgery, umbilical metastasis(Sister Mary Joseph's nodule: SMJN)was found in the umbilicus near the abdominal incisional hernia. There was no evidence of metastasis except in the umbilicus, we performed the umbilical tumor resection and abdominal incisional hernia repair. Pathological diagnosis was pancreatic cancer metastasis. Although following chemotherapy, multiple skin metastases was found in the lower abdomen 3 months after umbilical resection. We performed skin metastases resection to relieve pain and symptoms of bleeding. But she died 29 months after the initial therapy(7 months after umbilical resection).
