Feline PNSTs arising on the tongue are rarely described in the published literature, and, to our knowledge, a case of malignant PNST originating at this site has not been described to date. Therefore, this represents a new differential diagnosis for cats presenting with a lingual mass. Regardless of histological malignancy, in cats these tumours have the potential for local recurrence but appear very unlikely to metastasise.
