Abstract

We present the case of a 76 year old Asian male who presented with abdominal pain, weight loss and an abdominal mass. Further evaluation by histopathology revealed a squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC) of the pancreas. A review of the English literature confirms the rare occurrence of pure SqCC of the pancreas. We discuss the prevailing theories as to its etiology and the unusual radiographic appearance of our case.
