Metastatic lesions of the pancreas are uncommon. The incidence of pancreatic involvement with squamous cell carcinoma is the lowest among the different histological subtypes of lung cancer. We present the clinical data, pathological findings, and imaging features of two cases of pancreatic metastasis from squamous cell lung cancer with a literature review. A 75-year-old man and a 67-year-old man were both diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic tumors from squamous cell lung cancer during a multidisciplinary team discussion. Both patients were misdiagnosed as having a neuroendocrine tumor of the pancreas by imaging examination before surgery. Squamous cell lung cancer metastasis to the pancreas is extremely rare, and the atypical clinical and radiological presentations make it difficult to distinguish metastatic tumors from primary pancreatic tumors.

Bilirubin, an endogenous antioxidant, may play a protective role in cancer development. We applied two-sample Mendelian randomization to investigate whether genetically raised bilirubin levels are causally associated with the risk of ten cancers (pancreas, kidney, endometrium, ovary, breast, prostate, lung, Hodgkin’s lymphoma, melanoma, and neuroblastoma). The number of cases and their matched controls of European descent ranged from 122,977 and 105,974 for breast cancer to 1200 and 6417 for Hodgkin’s lymphoma, respectively. A total of 115 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated (p < 5 × 10−8) with circulating total bilirubin, extracted from a genome-wide association study in the UK Biobank, were used as instrumental variables. One SNP (rs6431625) in the promoter region of the uridine-diphosphoglucuronate glucuronosyltransferase1A1 (UGT1A1) gene explained 16.9% and the remaining 114 SNPs (non-UGT1A1 SNPs) explained 3.1% of phenotypic variance in circulating bilirubin levels. A one-standarddeviation increment in circulating bilirubin (≈ 4.4 µmol/L), predicted by non-UGT1A1 SNPs, was inversely associated with risk of squamous cell lung cancer and Hodgkin’s lymphoma (odds ratio (OR) 0.85, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.73–0.99, P 0.04 and OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.42–0.99, p 0.04, respectively), which was confirmed after removing potential pleiotropic SNPs. In contrast, a positive association was observed with the risk of breast cancer after removing potential pleiotropic SNPs (OR 1.12, 95% CI 1.04–1.20, p 0.002). There was little evidence for robust associations with the other seven cancers investigated. Genetically raised bilirubin levels were inversely associated with risk of squamous cell lung cancer as well as Hodgkin’s lymphoma and positively associated with risk of breast cancer. Further studies are required to investigate the utility of bilirubin as a low-cost clinical marker to improve risk prediction for certain cancers.
