title: [Differential diagnosis of macroglossia].
abstract: In addition to a survey of differential diagnoses to be considered in cases of macroglossia, rare general disorders connected with macroglossia are pointed out. As shown especially in a case of primary amyloidosis, recognition of and differential diagnostic considerations with regard to macroglossia sometimes make it possible to diagnose a general disorder not yet recognized.
