title: A vascular graft for endometrial cancer groin recurrence.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Recurrent groin metastases from endometrial cancer that invades the femoral vasculature is debilitating and provides a management dilemma.
  
  
  METHODS
  We present the first case of endometrial cancer with metastatic disease to the groin vasculature palliated with percutaneous endovascular embolization and stent grafting.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Endovascular surgery provides an alternative option in those with metastatic endometrial cancer of the groin to improve the patient's quality of life by avoiding a major surgery with difficult postoperative recovery and prolonging the timecourse until the next major bleed.
