RESUMO
Metastases to gastrostomy sites are a rare but significant complication of percutaneous endoscopic gastrotomy (PEG) placement in cancer patients. Both direct seeding and hematogenous spread have been suggested as possible mechanisms. This article outlines the incidence, presentation, pathogenesis, and management of PEG-site metastases.
