Sister Mary Joseph's Nodule in Advanced Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Identified on Hybrid 18F-FDG PET/MR.

Sister Mary Joseph's Nodule in Advanced Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Identified on Hybrid 18F-FDG PET/MR. J Nucl Med Technol. 2019 Apr 24;: Authors: Yang M, Hopp AC, Bekaii-Saab TS, Collins JM Abstract Sister Mary Joseph's nodule (SMJN) is an umbilical metastatic lesion typically originating from gastrointestinal or gynecological malignancies. In pancreatic cancer, SMJN is a sign of advanced disease with an associated poor diagnosis. The novel hybrid 18F-FDG PET/MRI provides an imaging tool in the identification of SMJN and helps with improved staging of pancreatic cancer. PMID: 31019031 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
