Abstract

The navel is an unusual site to metastasis or endometriosis implants. Endometriosis is the endometrial glandular tissue outside the uterine cavity. An incidence of endometriosis implants after gynecological surgeries in to navel of 0.3% to 1% has been reported. In this report, we presented three cases of endometriosis and two patients with the sister Mary Joseph sign in the umbilicus (it means a metastasis to the navel) with stomach and ovary tumor who were diagnosed by Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) from the Dinamica Laboratory and at the Pablo Tobón Uribe Hospital in Medellin, Colombia. Fine needle aspiration biopsy is a simple and inexpensive method that allows the diagnosis of endometrial implant lesions and navel metastases.
