Tongue, Large

Definition:

Subjective: Increased length and width of the tongue

Comments:

Normal standards do not exist. Large size usually leads to protrusion of the tongue. This is an acknowledged bundled term, but due to its frequent usage and relative paucity of situations that would call for separate individual assessments of tongue dimensions, the bundled term is retained. Micrognathia may give the false appearance of a large tongue.

Synonyms:

• Hyperplasia of the Tongue
• Hypertrophy of the Tongue
• Macroglossia
