The presence of which of the following is suggestive of metastatic spread of an underlying gastrointestinal malignancy? 1. Krukenberg Tumour 2. Virchow's Node 3. Meigs' Syndrome 4. Sister Mary Joseph's Nodule Select the correct answer using the code given below:
1, 2 and 4
Krukenberg tumour (ovarian metastasis from GI cancer), Virchow's node (left supraclavicular lymph node metastasis), and Sister Mary Joseph's nodule (periumbilical metastatic nodule) are all classic signs of metastatic spread from an underlying GI malignancy. Meigs' syndrome, in contrast, refers to a benign ovarian fibroma with ascites and pleural effusion and is not a marker of malignant spread. Hence 1, 2 and 4 are correct.
