Jaundice usually indicates hepatic metastasis or metastatic lymphadenopathy in the portal region. Drop metastasis into the pelvis can present as Blumer shelf nodules or Krukenberg tumors. Periumbilical masses can arise from lymph node metastasis or, more commonly, directly grow through the abdominal wall from peritoneal metastasis.
