Carcinoma of the right side colon accompanied by Sister Mary Joseph's nodule and inguinal nodal metastases: a case report and literature review.
(1/5)
Umbilical metastases from intraperitoneal malignancies are universally referred to Sister Mary Joseph's nodule (SMJN). The most frequent primary tumor sites include the stomach and ovaries. SMJN caused by colon cancer is uncommon. Likewise, carcinoma of the right side colon metastasizing to inguinal lymph nodes is considered almost impossible. To the best of our knowledge, there is no report of right side colon cancer synchronously involving both the umbilicus and inguinal lymph nodes in the literature. We present a case of right side colon cancer (RSCC) metastasizing to the umbilicus and inguinal lymph nodes, which was confirmed by routine pathological evaluation and immuohistochemistry. (+info)
