Sister Mary Joseph's nodule (SMJN) is rare and may occur independently or simultaneously with malignant tumors in the abdominal cavity. It has a poor prognosis. Endometrial carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor in the upper segment of the female reproductive tract; however, it rarely occurs with SMJN. We here report a case of endometrial carcinoma with SMJN.
