Adenocarcinoma is a cancer that begins in glandular cells and can occur in several parts of the body. Adenocarcinoma is a rare malignancy of the oropharynx with a few cases reported in the previous report. We describe 1 case of adenocarcinoma of the oropharynx. 46-year-old man was found to have an asymptomatic left tonsil mass and left neck mass that revealed adenocarcinoma by biopsy. A left tonsillectomy and selective neck dissection was performed and pathology confirmed adenocarcinoma with tonsil and neck mass. We report this case with a brief literature review.
