Macroglossia Syphilitic

This is a rare disease that is characterized by excessive growth of tongue tissue. It can lead to serious complications and requires immediate treatment.

Macroglossia is not just an enlargement of the tongue, but also a change in its shape and color. The disease develops due to the spread of syphilitic infection in the tissues of the tongue and the appearance of growths of various types on it. With macroglia, the tongue can increase in size several times its normal size.

There are many causes of the disease, but in most cases it is caused by infection with syphilis. However, it is also well known that it can be provoked by various injuries to the oral cavity, ingestion of irritating substances, allergic reactions or chronic poisoning.
