Primary squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC) of the pancreas is a rare malignancy with poor prognosis and unclear management. Here, we present the case of a patient with PSCC, review the literature, identify areas of therapeutic uncertainty, and conclude that more clinical and molecular data are needed to improve the prognosis of this rare malignancy.

The disease may evolve gradually after multiple episodes of acute pancreatitis or develop independently.EtiologyChronic pancreatitis can arise from a variety of causes:Alcohol use is the leading cause, accounting for 70–80% of...
