Adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) is a rare malignant tumor of the oral and maxillofacial region that displays histologic features of both adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. ASC in the midline dorsum of the tongue is exceedingly rare. We report the case of a 48-year-old man who presented with a painless mass in the midline dorsum of the tongue. Although the case was diagnosed as adenocarcinoma by biopsy, a final diagnosis of ASC was established after surgery. Ten months after the patient's initial visit, no recurrence or metastasis has been noted. ASC in the middle dorsum of the tongue is exceedingly rare, and no examples have been reported hitherto.
