Squamous cell carcinoma of the pancreas has been sparsely described since the 1940s, and generally has a poor prognosis. Herein, we present a case of primary squamous cell carcinoma of the pancreas with liver metastasis, both confirmed by endoscopic ultrasoundguided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report in literature utilizing EUS-FNA for a cell-type specific diagnosis of primary pancreatic squamous cell carcinoma with a liver metastasis.

“…Saijou et al described a case of squamous cell carcinoma in which gallium scintigraphy revealed a hot area in the tumor (7). Enhancement of the tumoron contrast CTis characteristic of squamouscell carcinoma, according to Fajardo et al (8). Although several reports suggest that hypervascularity may be characteristic, we could not perform angiography in this case, because the patient was in poor condition.…”

A 79-year-old womanwith a rare form of pancreatic carcinoma with massive invasion of the retroperitoneum presented with upper abdominal pain and vomiting. Although examination (computed tomography, barium enema, upper gastrointestinal series) suggested peritonitis carcinomatosa due to pancreatic cancer, a primary lesion of the pancreas was not confirmed by endoscopic retrograde pancreatography. Autopsy ultimately revealed a small tumor (5x8 mm)of the uncinate process of the pancreas near the duodenumwith peritonitis carcinomatosa. Microscopically, the tumor and its metastasis consisted of poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma without adenocarcinomatous change, a rare form of pancreatic tumor.

“…Although the foregoing radiologic features are unusual in typical ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas and are more suggestive of pancreatic squamous cell carcinoma, hypervascular radiographic features can be seen in other conditions such as cystadenoma and cystadenocarcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma, hemangioma, angiosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, and islet cell tumours of the pancreas 3,18 . However, squamous cell carcinoma should be included in the differential diagnosis when hypervascularity or a tumour blush is demonstrated in the pancreas 20 .…”

“…Both of these radiographic phenomena are probably a result of the hypervascularity of squamous cell carcinoma 3,7,[17][18][19] . Fajardo et al 18 reported the use of dynamic CT with a bolus injection of intravenous contrast to examine a patient with pancreatic squamous cell carcinoma. The attenuation of this tumour increased from 35 HU to 61 HU.…”

Pancreatic malignancies can be subdivided into endocrine and non-endocrine processes. Of the non-endocrine tumours, ductal carcinoma is the most common, and the ductal carcinomas can be further subdivided into adenocarcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas. The adenocarcinomas constitute most of the non-endocrine pancreatic malignancies, and the treatment options for these, although limited in efficacy, are relatively well established. The squamous cell carcinoma pathology is a rare entity, and few reports of it are found in the literature. As a result, treatment options for squamous cell carcinoma of the pancreas are poorly understood. Here, we report the presentation of a 48-year-old woman with metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the pancreas. The subsequent investigations, treatment, and outcome are described.
