Squamous cell carcinoma of the pancreas

Abstract

Epidermoid cancer of the pancreas is a rare variety of this malignancy. A case is presented. It has a characteristic angiographic appearance. Though in the past it has had a prognosis similar to the more common adenocarcinoma of the pancreas, a chemotherapeutic agent effective against epidermoid tumors at other sites has been effective in a case reported in the recent cancer treatment literature.
