Abstract: Macroglossia refers to excessive enlargement of the tongue caused by hyperplasia and edema of the tongue tissue, which can be caused by various causes, such as hemangioma and lymphatic malformation, neurofibroma, hypothyroidism, angioneuroedema, amyloidosis and other types of diseases. The treatment of macroglossia is challenging and difficult. We reported here a case of giant tongue due to angiolymphoma treated by surgical resection combined with pingyangmycin injection and reviewed the relevant literatures on clinical manifestation and treatment.

Key words: Lymphatic-venous malformation, Macroglossia, Surgical resection, Pingyangmycin
