This case report presents a unique instance of isolated para-aortic lymph node metastasis from endometrial adenocarcinoma in a patient with vena cava duplication. Endometrial cancer, the most common gynecologic malignancy, typically has a favorable prognosis when diagnosed early. However, lymph node metastasis significantly impacts treatment decisions. Vena cava duplication, a rare congenital anomaly, poses challenges during retroperitoneal surgeries. In this case, a 61-year-old woman with FIGO stage IIIC2 endometrial adenocarcinoma underwent successful surgical treatment, including total abdominal hysterectomy and lymph node dissection. Preoperative imaging revealed the vena cava anomaly, highlighting the importance of thorough vascular assessment to prevent surgical complications. This report underscores the need for awareness of vascular anomalies in gynecologic oncology to optimize surgical outcomes and guide adjuvant therapy decisions.
