Case description

This 76 year-old male, was referred to our endoscopic unit for the placement of a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PGE) due to a carcinoma of the tongue. Squamous cell carcinoma of the oral tongue represents one of the more common malignancies encountered by the general otolaryngologist as well as by one specializing in head and neck surgery. In the management of the early lingual cancers, a wide variety of therapeutics options have been advocated in the literature, and in addition to planning the treatment of the primary neoplasm, management of the neck must be considered as well.
