Résumé
Pancreatic primary squamous cell carcinoma (PPSCC) is very uncommon. The major diagnostic method is histology, and it requires the exclusion of a metastasis from a different primary location (lung, esophagus…). Herein, we describe two cases of a PPSCC (one in the head and the other one in the tail and the body of the pancreas) with a brief review of literature. When it comes to the poorly differentiated PPSCC, immunohistochemistry (IHC) is crucial. Regretfully, there is currently no unanimity on treatment, and the outcome is dismal.
