A 42‐year‐old male presented with adenocarcinoma of the palate and nephrotic syndrome. Renal biopsy demonstrated membranous glomerulopathy in which carcinoembryonic antigen was demonstrated. Carcinoembryonic antigen was also found in the palatal tumor. This is the first instance of this association with this particular tumor.
