Precaval recurrent endometrial cancer treated with en-bloc resection of the inferior vena cava and reconstruction using bovine pericardium. A case report and review of the literature

•Bovine pericardium for IVC reconstruction has significant advantages comparing to vascular ligation, autogenous or PTFE grafts.•En-bloc resection of metastatic precaval lymph nodes and reconstruction of the IVC is feasible.•Recurrence of endometrial cancer at para-aortic lymph nodes is good candidate for secondary cytoreduction with MDT approach.
