Spindle cell carcinoma is a rare biphasic tumor consisting of epithelial and mesenchymal components. Presence of this tumor type in the tongue has rarely been reported.

We present this rare tumor with an unusual location to contribute in part to the better understanding and awareness of this rare malignancy.
