Adenosquamous carcinoma of the pancreas is a rare tumor but demonstrated an aggressive biologic behavior. A 60-year-old man with huge cystic mass in epigastrium was admitted complaining of abdominal discomfort. Initially the cystic mass was diagnosed to pseudocyst. An abdominal computed tomography on 1 month later demonstrated a more enlarged mass in the body of the pancreas with central necrosis, which was infiltrating posterior wall of the stomach. Near total pancreatectomy, splenectomy and total gastrectomy were done. The resection specimen composed of squamous cell carcinoma components with a small area of adenocarcinoma. The patient died of cachexia 4 month after the operation. We reported an unusual case of adenosquamous carcinoma of the pancreas which was a giant cystic mass with central degeneration and gastric infiltration.
