title: Squamous cell carcinoma of the pancreas. Report of an unusual case and review of the literature.
abstract: Squamous cell carcinoma is an uncommon form of cancer of the pancreas, comprising 0.5-3.5% of cases. We report an unusual case that occurred in a very young woman and showed cystic characteristics. Interesting radiographic features included extensive pancreatic calcifications and pancreatic duct communication to the mass. A literature review of this rare form of pancreatic cancer is also provided.
