A case of metastatic mucus producing adenocarcinoma of the umbilicus (Sister Mary Joseph's nodule) is described. The primary tumour was an adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon. The cell blocks from the aspirate highlighted the histological features of the metastatic tumour with extensive mucus production which was also confirmed by alcian blue and mucicarmine stains.
