Organizations Definition Acromegaly is a rare disorder of excessive bone and soft tissue growth due to elevated levels of growth hormone. In young children, prior to the completed fusion and growth of bones, excessive growth hormone can cause a similar condition called gigantism. Causes In most cases, acromegaly is caused by over-secretion of growth hormone (GH) produced by a benign tumor of the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland is a small gland located at the base of the brain that produces many hormones. In a small number of cases, tumors of other organs may be the source of excess GH. Pituitary Gland www.nucleusinc.com Risk Factors A risk factor is something that increases your chances of getting a disease or condition. Some rare cases of acromegaly are hereditary. No other risk factors have been identified. Symptoms Symptoms usually develop very slowly over time. Acromegaly can cause serious complications and premature death if not treated. In children, excess GH production causes elongation of the bones and associated soft tissue swelling. If not treated, children with this disorder can grow to a height of 7-8 feet.
