Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Pancreas: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Abstract

Primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the pancreas is an ex-tremely rare tumor with the normal pancreas being entirely devoid of squamous cells. It, however, has been noted that during inflam-matory episodes, squamous metaplasia of ductal columnar cells has been observed; however, transformation to SCC is rare. We herein describe a case of pancreatic SCC and provide a review of existing literature.
