Acromegaly and Gigantism

Acromegaly is a hormonal disorder that results from too much growth hormone (GH) in the body. The pituitary, a small gland in the brain, makes GH. In acromegaly, the pituitary produces excessive amounts of GH. Acromegaly Gigantism results if this excess GH starts prior to adulthood.
