Abstract
At follow up, three and a half months later there was resolution of macroglossia and all the other symptoms with restoration of euthyroid state (T3-103ng/dL, t410.7mcg/dL and TSH0.30 micro IU/mL). We report the rare presentation of primary hypothyroidism as macroglossia. Other causes of macroglossia include amyloidosis, acromegaly, Downs' syndrome and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (Figure 1 & 2).
