Pituitary gigantism: Causes and clinical characteristics.

Annales d'endocrinologie - 1 Dec 2015

Rostomyan Liliya, Daly Adrian F, Beckers Albert

Abstract excerpt

Acromegaly and pituitary gigantism are very rare conditions resulting from excessive secretion of growth hormone (GH), usually by a pituitary adenoma. Pituitary gigantism occurs when GH excess overlaps with the period of rapid linear growth during childhood and adolescence. Until recently, its etiology and clinical characteristics have been poorly understood. Genetic and genomic causes have been identified in...
