| Synonyms |
Lingual hyperplasia Glossal hypertrophy Increased size of tongue Abnormally large tongue Lingual hypertrophy Large tongue Hypertrophy of the tongue Hyperplasia of the tongue Tongue hypertrophy |
| Definitions |
Increased length and width of the tongue. 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. |
