Introduction: A long-term, painless tongue expansion is known as “macroglossia,” and it is identified by looking for a tongue that protrudes above the dentoalveolar structures when at rest.[1] True and pseudo-macroglossia are the two main classifications for macroglossia. When aberrant proteins or glycogen infiltrate normal tissue, or when the tongue muscles hypertrophy, the result is true macroglossia, which is linked to conclusive histological alterations in the tongue.[2] A tongue that appears normal in size yet is pseudomacroglossia. Oral cavity anatomic anomalies are typically the cause of this disorder.[3-5]

Keywords:   Amyloidosis, multiple myeloma, tongue growth.
