title: [Virchow's node as the form of onset of squamous cell carcinoma of the pancreas].
abstract: Squamous carcinoma of the pancreas is a highly uncommon tumor.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 63-year-old man was referred to the gastroenterology department because of hyporexia, cachexia and weight loss. A left supraclavicular node was noted. The computed tomography scan showed a tumor in the pancreatic body involving the celiac axis. Histological examination of the supraclavicular node and pancreatic mass revealed squamous cell carcinoma.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The incidence and characteristics of this highly infrequent tumor, as well as new treatment indications, are reviewed.
