Abstract
This case illustrates previously unreported computed tomography findings in a primary pancreatic squamous cell carcinoma, an unusual pancreatic malignancy. With bolus injection of intravenous contrast, attenuation of this tumor increased from 35 to 61 Hounsfield units, a finding not typical for pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
