title: Gastrostomy-site tumor recurrence is not always fatal.
abstract: Percutaneous gastrostomy (PEG) site tumor seeding is a rare occurrence with fewer than 30 reported cases. Reported treatment ranges from observation to wide excision with unanimously poor outcome. We report the first published case of a long-term survivor after resection of a PEG site recurrence and review our treatment approach.
