Name | Excessive secretion of growth hormone |
Description | Excessive secretion of growth hormone (GH) causes acromegaly [DS:H01483] and pituitary gigantism [DS:H01618]. They have the same pathogenetic mechanism, but differ regarding the age of onset. Gigantism occurs much earlier in life when the skeleton still has the potential to grow, a developmental phase now known as prepubertal. Although most cases occur as a result of a sporadic GH-secreting pituitary adenoma, they can occur in a familial setting. |
