Abstract

The umbilical lesion termed as “Sister Joseph’s Nodule”,  a rare site for metastases from internal malignancies is generally associated with poor prognosis. Fine needle aspiration cytology is a simple, rapid, inexpensive diagnostic procedure which preclude the need for umbilical biopsy or other complicated diagnostic investigations. We present three cases of Sister Joseph’s nodule diagnosed on aspiration cytology.
