Abstract

Epidermoid carcinoma of the pancreas is an extremely rare histological type. We report the case of a 62-year-old patient who has had epigastric pain and posterior irradiation for 2 months. Thoracoabdomino-pelvic CT scan has showed tissue process on the pancreatic incus. Surgical specimens were submitted to a histopathological examination which revealed a well-differentiated and mature invasive epidermoid carcinoma of the pancreas tumor classified as stage pT3N1. After surgical procedure (cephalic duodenopancreatectomy), the evolution was favorable. Hereby, we review literature and discuss various aspects of epidermoid carcinoma of the pancreas including epidemiology, pathogeny, diagnosis, treatment and survival.
