%X we describe a case of true macroglossia in a 6-year-old child that was surgically treated with a midline elliptical excision and anterior wedge resection along a gothic-shaped arch. the postoperative result was considered satisfactory with regard to both the volume of the tongue, which now remains entirely within the mouth, and the aesthetic appearance; the ability to taste has been maintained.
