Abstract
Metastasis to the inguinal lymph node from early gastric cancer is rare. We report a case of 63-year-old Japanese male with gastric mucosal cancer which metastasized to the left inguinal lymph nodes 4 years after a curative gastrectomy. The importance of routine examination of inguinal lymph nodes for cases with gastric cancer is suggested.
