⚡ TL;DR(Too Long; Didn't Read)

In our case report, we aimed to present a patient who was treated for nasopharyngeal cancer and was found to have a lesion compatible with metastasis at the old PEG site 7 years later.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:PEG (Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy) procedure is a method used in patients with head and neck cancers whose oral intake is impaired.

Abstract

PEG (Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy) procedure is a method used in patients with head and neck cancers whose oral intake is impaired. Although very rare, metastasis may occur due to the possible implantation of tumor cells compatible with primary malignancy at the PEG site. In our case report, we aimed to present a patient who was treated for nasopharyngeal cancer and was found to have a lesion compatible with metastasis at the old PEG site 7 years later.

Özet

PEG (Perkütan Endoskopik Gastrostomi) işlemi, ağız yoluyla beslenme yeteneği bozulan baş ve boyun kanseri hastalarında kullanılan bir yöntemdir. Çok nadir olmakla birlikte, PEG bölgesindeki primer malign tümörle uyumlu hücrelerin implantasyonu nedeniyle metastaz meydana gelebilir. Vaka sunumumuzda, nazofarenks kanseri tedavisi gören ve eski PEG bölgesinde metastazla uyumlu bir lezyonun 7 yıl sonra görüldüğü bir hastayı sunmayı amaçladık.
