Popis: We aimed to investigate whether transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUSG)-measured tumour size, pattern and location were significant predictors for lymph node metastasis in the uterus-confined endometrioid endometrial cancer (EEC) patients. A total of 213 patients with EEC were recruited and 73 of them were considered eligible and were analysed according to lymph node involvement. Tumour size, pattern and location measured by transvaginal ultrasound were recorded. Thereafter, patients were distributed according to their lymph node involvement and were compared with respect to these parameters. The patients' median age was 56 (27-80). Mean of the resected lymph nodes was 29.68 and 33.5 in lymph-node-negative and positive patients, respectively (
