Popis:	Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube emplacement is commonly used to feed those with head, neck, or esophageal cancer. An 80-year-old man with hypopharyngeal cancer underwent PEG before chemoradiotherapy. After 4 months, tissue granulation extended to the gastrostomy site. The pathological lesion findings showed squamous cell carcinoma, suspected to have metastasized from hypopharyngeal cancer. To avoid cancer cell implantation, it is important to select the type of gastrostomy carefully.
