ABSTRACT
We here describe a case report of a positive precaval sentinel lymph node with negative pelvic sentinel lymph node in a patient with endometrial cancer. A 45-years-old woman was diagnosed with a grade 2 endometrioid carcinoma of the endometrium. She was treated with a hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, associated with dissection of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs). We detected bilateral external and common bilateral iliac nodes and one precaval node. At pathological examination the pelvic nodes were non-metastatic, but the precaval node was positive. In this patient, sentinel node biopsy improved risk-assessment and adjuvant treatment.
