ABSTRACT
Gastric cancer perforation is a rare but life-threatening complication of gastric cancer. We present the case of a 53-year-old male with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) who presented to the emergency department with severe abdominal pain, was found to have an acute abdomen, and was eventually diagnosed with gastric perforation due to metastatic gastric cancer. This case highlights the challenges in diagnosing and managing perforated gastric cancer and discusses the surgical management options, including the use of laparoscopic techniques and the role of chemotherapy, particularly hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC).
