Since it was first described, the original percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) technique has proved to be a valuable adjunct in patients with head and neck tumours. This procedure is being increasingly utilized in the face of swallowing impairment related to head and neck carcinoma. Although generally well tolerated, it may be associated with complications. In this report, we document tumour implantation at the percutaneous endoscopic gastric site and review the report cases. It appears that implantation metastasis does alter prognosis.
