Abstract
AbstractObjective: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube insertion is used as an alternative to surgical gastrostomy in patients with head and neck cancers for nutritional support.Methods: We report two cases of head and neck cancer with metastasis to the surgical PEG tube site. The clinical and treatment-related details are discussed.Conclusions: Metastasis to PEG tube site is a rare occurrence.
