81-year-old female presented with subacute right lower extremity edema due to iliac vein compression by a markedly enlarged external iliac lymph node later identified as newly relapsed metastatic endometrial carcinoma. The patient underwent a full evaluation of the iliac vein lesion and cancer and had an intravenous stent placed with complete resolution of symptoms post-procedure.
