Abstract

Among exocrine pancreatic tumors, adenosquamous carcinoma is a rare, aggressive subtype with a poor prognosis and a high potential for metastases compared with its more conventional glandular counterpart, adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. We herein describe the imaging findings of pancreatic adenosquamous cell carcinoma with solitary liver metastasis showing different imaging features and also review the previous literature to recognize characteristic imaging features of pancreatic adenosquamous cell carcinoma.

췌장에 생기는 종양 중에 adenosquamous carcinoma는 드물지만, 예후가 좋지 않으며 더 흔한 adenocarcinoma보다 다른 곳으로 전이할 확률이 높다. 이 증례 보고는 pancreas에 생긴 adenosquamous cell carcinoma와 liver로 전이한 병변이 서로 다른 영상소견을 보이는 드문 예로, 기존의 문헌들을 참고해 pancreas에 생기는 드문 질병인 adenosquamous cell carcinoma에 대한 이해를 돕기 위함이다.
