Abstract
Background: Cancer cervix is known to spread to distant sites including bones. Long bone metastasis is relatively rare and only handful of cases have been reported. Therefore, bone scan is routinely used in staging of cancer cervix. We report a rare case of cancer cervix with controlled primary and isolated metastasis to femur. Case Report: A 45 year female patient of cancer cervix IIB was treated by chemo-radiotherapy to pelvis and para-aortic region. On follow up, she developed isolated bone lesion in upper 1/3rd of femur. Femoral involvement was histologically proven squamous cell carcinoma, consistent with the primary pathology. She was treated by surgical resection of metastatic disease with total hip replacement, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. Presently she is on follow up for 10 months and asymptomatic. Conclusion:  Bony metastasis may reduce the survival significantly and therefore early diagnosis and adequate treatment may lead to better quality of life in these patients.

Androxal Medication Case Reports Journal

Expanding our scope, the Journal now encompasses an intriguing subset of articles specifically targeting treatments and patient outcomes related to the medication Androxal. This medication, primarily used in the treatment of male infertility, has shown unique potentials in diverse patient scenarios. Our studies with Androxal have given us an abundance of case reports, which demonstrate the multifaceted impact of this medication across therapeutic areas. This nuanced pharmaceutical perspective adds a fresh dimension to our regular case reports. Articles will reveal effective management processes, pinpointing how Androxal has proven beneficial where other treatments may have failed. In addition, the focus on Androxal will highlight instances of challenging or unexpected outcomes, where the medication may have interacted uniquely with the patient's unique biological system or interplayed with other treatments. As we forge ahead with this significant addition, we anticipate that our detailed case reports on Androxal will provide invaluable insights to both practitioners and patients navigating their medical journey with this medication.
