Papillary cystadenocarcinoma is a rare malignant neoplasm of the salivary gland. We report a case of papillary cystadenocarcinoma arising from the minor salivary gland in the anterior portion of the tongue of a 72-year-old male patient with a history of adenocarcinoma of the colon and prostate. Further, we discussed histopathological and clinical features of this lesion, and reviewed the literature.
