Metastatic umbilical deposits from abdominal and pelvic malignancy is termed Sister Mary Joseph’s nodule. Metastasis of gallbladder adenocarcinoma to the umbilicus is extremely rare, even rarer is for this metastasis to be the initial presentation of gallbladder carcinoma.

Physicians should consider this type of metastasis in patients presenting with umbilical nodules and biopsy should always be obtained.
