title: Sister Mary Joseph's nodule and inaugural cutaneous metastases of gastrointestinal adenocarcinomas.
abstract: Cutaneous metastases presenting as the first sign of cancer are rare. We present two cases of such metastases, one being a so-called sister Mary Joseph's nodule. The histologic findings revealed adenocarcinomas with features suggesting a primary gastrointestinal neoplasm.
