Metastatic adenocarcinoma. Yes, it is called Sister Mary Joseph's nodule. It is so named because it was first found in a nun Sister Mary Joseph, also refered as Sister Joseph's nodule. You may be confused because Joseph is a male's name, how it is also used in a nun. Nun (female) could have first name Joseph. I have said this before. Mostly primary tumors are from GYN and GI.
Ironically i saw a case of Sister Mary Joseph's nodule today, the patient's first name is indeed Joseph, and his primary tumor is stomach, status post gastrectomy 2 years ago.
