We reported a case of metastatic adenocarcinoma on the umbilicus in a 65-year-old man. He was referred to our hospital with a chief complaint of a painful node on the umbilicus. A biopsy specimen taken from the node revealed the atypical cell nests scattered in the skin ranging from the superficial dermis down to the fat tissue. The tumor cells formed glandular structures in various sizes. An endoscopic examination revealed gastric cancer of Borrmann typeIV which invaded the middle, upper and posterior of the stomach. These findings above mentioned suggest that the umbilical lesion represented metastasis from gastric cancer. We reviewed 80 cases of metastatic umbilical carcinomas and 32 cases of gastric cancer metastasized to the umbilicus that have been previously reported in the Japanese literature.
