esophagogastric cancer, metallic stent, complicationsAbstract
The tumors of the esophagogastric union (EGU) have increased its incidence and with it the complications related to the palliative treatment of dysphagia. A 65- year-old man with a EGU neoplasm with liver metastases is reported, in whom treatment with selfexpanding stent was performed, presenting as a complication the migration and perforation at the gastric level. Considering that up to 50-60% of EGU cancers require palliative treatment, endoscopic stenting is a frequently used option, with a complication rate of up to 40%, among which
migration and gastric perforation is rare and serious complication that requires immediate surgical treatment.
