Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the parotid gland often recurs locally, or metastases develop, after initial treatment with surgery and radiotherapy. We report a patient with an inoperable local recurrence of previously irradiated adenoid cystic carcinoma, who was treated with tamoxifen, an oestrogen receptor antagonist. After 18 months of treatment with tamoxifen, MRI showed a partial response, and further clinical progression of the disease was halted.
