Abstract: | Extensive pelvic lymph node metastasis in the absence of risk factors was noticed at surgical staging for endometrial cancer in a 55-year-old postmenopausal women. On exploration there was a dilemma as to the disappearing lymph nodes which subsequently proved to be asymptomatic ureteric calculi. The need to palpate the pelvic side walls at the time of surgery for endometrial cancer even in cases when no nodal enlargement is detected preoperatively is highlighted. |
