Core Tip	This case highlights the importance of thorough evaluation in patients presenting with unusual masses, such as an inguinal mass, to identify potential distant metastases from primary gastric cancer. Early diagnosis and multidisciplinary treatment, including palliative surgery, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, and radiation, can improve patient management in advanced gastric cancer.
