Abstract
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.
