The commonest identified primary was ovarian carcinoma (eight cases, 24 per cent), followed by carcinoma of colon and stomach Sister Mary Joseph's nodule: a (six cases each, 18 per cent). Pancreas (three cases, 9 per cent), study of the incidence of lung (two cases, 6 per cent) and kidney (one case, 3 per cent) were the other identified primary sites. The mean population umbilical secondary b io psied of Northern Ireland over the 15-year period was 1550 100. The in a defined population incidence rate of biopsied umbilical metastasis was thus 0.142 tumours per 100000 population per year. In ten cases (30per cent) the umbilical secondary was the first sign of malignancy, while in two other cases (6percent), M. K. Heatley and P. G. Toner the metastasis heralded a decline due to dissemination of a Department of Pathology, The Queen's University of previously diagnosed primary.
