The patient had a history of early endometrial carcinoma (FIGO stage IB) which was treated in September 2013, with total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, followed by pelvic radiation therapy (45 Gy in 25 fractions) and vaginal cuff brachytherapy (15 Gy in 3 fractions). Physical examination revealed emaciated, a dehydrated woman with soft but tender abdomen. Complete blood counts were normal, serum sodium was 134 mmol/L (normal range = 135-145 mmol/L) and serum glucose was 12 mmol/L (normal range = 4.1-5.9 mmol/L). Abdominopelvic computed tomography showed left para-aortic lymph&amp;nbsp; node enlargement (5.8&amp;nbsp; x&amp;nbsp; 3.1&amp;nbsp; cm) (white and black arrow) at the level&amp;nbsp; of&amp;nbsp; the&amp;nbsp; renal&amp;nbsp; hilum&amp;nbsp; with&amp;nbsp; invasion&amp;nbsp; into&amp;nbsp; the&amp;nbsp; 3rd&amp;nbsp; part&amp;nbsp; of duodenum&amp;nbsp; causing&amp;nbsp; gastric outlet&amp;nbsp; obstruction (GOO) (Figure1 and 2). The patient could take only liquids orally, and the gastric outlet obstruction scoring system (GOOSS) was 1. For symptomatic relief, the patient underwent duodenal stenting consisting of nested stent wires. Later, she was discharged under medical oncology for systemic chemotherapy. About 15% of patients with high-risk early or advanced endometrial carcinoma are at high risk for para-aortic lymph node metastasis [1]. However, infiltration of duodenum secondary to para-aortic lymphadenopathy causing GOO in endometrial carcinoma is an extremely rare manifestation [2]. Treatment is duodenal stenting or gastrojejunostomy.</p></sec><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="ref1"><mixed-citation publication-type="journal">Fotopoulou C, El-Balat A, du Bois A, Sehouli J, Harter P, Muallem MZ, et al.
