## Contribution

The paper documents an extremely rare case of PEG-J tube migration into the esophagus.

## Abstract

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) and percutaneous endoscopic gastro-jejunal (PEG-J) tube placement are both common procedures regularly performed on patients requiring nutritional support. These procedures may be complicated by infection, hemorrhage, fistulization, or tube migration. We present an extremely rare case of a patient with a PEG-J tube that migrated into the esophagus.
