Macroglossia é o termo médico para uma língua grande ou aumentada. Pode ser devida a uma variedade de condições congênitas ou adquiridas. Macroglossia isolada não tem causa determinada. Ela é observada comumente na síndrome de Down. As causas mais comuns de aumento da língua são malformações vasculares (p.ex., linfangioma ou hemangioma) e hipertrofia muscular. Pode, no entanto, ser devida a infiltração, assim como ocorre na amiloidose sistêmica primária. | |||
