Abstract
Background: The desmoplastic small round cell tumor is a rare disease with poor prognosis. It affects predominantly young males with preferential involvement of the abdominal cavity. Case Report: A 33 year old male presented with right hypochondrium pain, associated with anorexia and weight loss for last 2 months. The imaging studies identified an abdominal mass, without hollow organ association, and multiple liver metastases. The anatomopathological study of the tissue obtained with the percutaneous abdominal mass biopsy confirmed the presence of desmoplastic small round and blue tumor cells. The immunohistochemical and cytogenetic study confirmed the diagnosis. It was proposed for systemic chemotherapy as primary treatment. Conclusion: We intend to emphasize that although this tumor is rare, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of intra-abdominal solid lesions. It also includes a review of the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, as well molecular and pathologic features.

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.
