Duodenal complications of gynecological malignancies.
Isolated para-aortic lymph node metastasis leading to intestinal complications is uncommon and diagnosis may therefore be delayed. In the present report duodenal bleeding, obstruction and perforation due to isolated para-aortic lymph node metastasis from stage I uterine malignancies are described. Knowledge of these potential problems may lead to early recognition and planning of treatment.
