Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy is used to provide enteral nutritional support for patients with obstructive oropharyngeal or esophageal neoplasms. The placement of the catheter is considered safe, with few complications. Despite this, a specific complication that is considered rare, has been increasingly described in the literature, i.e., metastasis of head and neck cancer in the gastrostomy stoma. In this report, we described a case of metastasis of squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx in the gastrostomy site, and discussed the possible etiologies and alternatives, seeking to reduce the incidence of this complication.
经皮内镜下胃造口术用于为患有阻塞性口咽或食管肿瘤的患者提供肠内营养支持。导管置入被认为是安全的，并发症较少。尽管如此，一种被认为罕见的特定并发症在文献中越来越多地被描述，即头颈部癌转移至胃造口口。在本报告中，我们描述了一例喉鳞状细胞癌转移至胃造口部位的病例，并讨论了可能的病因及替代方案，以期降低该并发症的发生率。
