title: Adenosquamous Carcinoma of the Pancreas Demonstrated on 18F-FDG PET/CT Imaging.
abstract: A 69-year-old woman had gradually worsening abdominal discomfort over a year. A pancreatic mass was revealed by abdominal CT. The patient underwent FDG PET/CT for staging, which demonstrated the hypermetabolic pancreatic mass with multiple liver metastases. The lesion was pathologically confirmed as pancreatic adenosquamous carcinoma after biopsy.
