Abstract
Neoadjuvant intra-arterial cytoreductive chemotherapy is used for the treatment of lacrimal gland adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACC) to improve outcomes in this condition with an otherwise dismal prognosis. We share our experience in the management of an advanced case of ACC using a novel, highly targeted intra-arterial cytoreductive chemotherapy delivery technique involving both the internal and external carotid circulation, with an attempt to correlate the effect histologically. Refinement of the chemotherapy delivery using the tumor's vascular anatomy and appropriate blood vessel selection may lead to future globe sparing procedures without compromising survival.
