A 12-year-old male Pembroke Welsh Corgi was presented for the evaluation of squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue. The tumor was located in the midline frenulum linguae. For complete surgical resection of the tumor, the dog underwent partial glossectomy of two-thirds of the tongue. Although postoperative nutritional management with a gastrostomy tube was necessary, the dog could eat and drink unaided within one and a half months after the operation. The dog's quality of life was good until it died following lung metastasis six months after the operation.
