Abstract

A 42-year-old woman with liver metastasis from adrenal cortical carcinoma was treated with mitotane (o,p'DDD) for 11 months with a minimal response. Mitotane was stopped because of severe adverse effects. Thereafter a combination of cisplatin and etoposide was given every 3 weeks. A partial response was achieved after five chemotherapy courses. Following this chemotherapy, the patient had a surgical excision of the liver metastasis and entered into a complete remission for 17 months. Etoposide plus cisplatin may be an active combination for the treatment of adrenal cortical carcinoma.
