Pancreatic solitary metastasis of lung squamous cell carcinoma: A rare case report.
Article in Medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
rationaleLung cancer is a common malignancy worldwide, but its metastasis to the pancreas is rare. Among lung cancer cases with pancreatic metastasis, small cell carcinoma is one of the most common pathological types, while squamous cell carcinoma is a very rare type. Most patients with pancreatic metastases are asymptomatic, which can easily lead to missed diagnosis. PATIENT CONCERNS: The patient was a 61-year-old man who presented with a solitary mass in the pancreatic tail over 20 months after undergoing surgery for squamous cell carcinoma of the right lower lung. A retrospective review of imaging studies revealed that pancreatic lesions had been missed on contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography scans performed at 14 and 16 months after the lung surgery. The patient subsequently underwent radical surgical resection of the pancreatic metastases, which confirmed the diagnosis of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma. DIAGNOSES: A pancreatic mass was identified on contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Pathological examination of the resected specimen confirmed metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of lung origin.
interventionsRadical surgical resection. OUTCOMES: A solitary mass was discovered in the pancreas and was pathologically confirmed to be a metastasis from the patient's primary squamous cell carcinoma of the right lower lung, which had been resected 20 months prior. The patient died from progression of the metastatic disease 10 months after undergoing a right nephrectomy. LESSONS: Pancreatic metastasis of lung squamous carcinoma is rare and insidious. Therefore, radiologists should meticulously review imaging studies to detect smaller lesions in a timely manner. This vigilant approach is crucial for ensuring patients receive appropriate treatment and potentially prolonging their survival.
