Abstract
Background: Gallbladder metastasis from renal cell carcinoma is an extremely rare event, accounting for about less than 1% of cases. Typically, gallbladder metastasis presents as solitary and metachronous. The clinical presentation can consist in symptoms of biliary colic or acute cholecystitis or it can be discovered as an occasional finding. The management of this unique site of metastasis is usually surgical, with complete removal of the gallbladder. Case Report: We report a case of metastatization to the gallbladder from clear cell renal cell carcinoma about 18 years after removing the primary tumor. The patient underwent radical laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Conclusion: Gallbladder is a rare and peculiar site of metastasis from renal cell carcinoma, it can often be clinically silent and metastatization can occur many years after the end of recommended follow up period for radically resected renal cell carcinoma.

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.
