ABSTRACT
Adjustable gastric banding is a well-established procedure for the treatment of morbid obesity. We present a 62-year-old female who experienced the rare complication of intragastric band perforation due to a gastric adenocarcinoma localized at the site of gastric banding, 10 years after insertion of the band.
