Abstract
The case of a 53 year old female patient with metastasized androgen producing adrenocortical carcinoma is presented. After initial adrenalectomy a local relapse had been treated by surgery and external irradiation. Solitary liver metastases had been resected repeatedly. Subsequently multiple liver metastases required systemic chemotherapy. Treatment with o,p'-DDD (initially 12 g/d, long term treatment 1.5-3 g/d) has resulted in a complete remission for nearly 4 years. Gastrointestinal side effects occurred initially but subsided with dose reduction of o,p'-DDD.
