Gigantism004

Definition
Gigantism is a rare hormonal disorder in which a child produces excessive amounts of growth hormone (GH) before the growth plates of the bones close. This causes abnormal and excessive growth in height and body size.

Causes of Gigantism
1. Pituitary Adenoma (Most Common Cause)
A non-cancerous tumor of the pituitary gland produces too much growth hormone.
2. Genetic Disorders
Some inherited conditions can increase growth hormone production, such as:
Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1 (MEN1)
McCune-Albright Syndrome
Carney Complex
Neurofibromatosis Type 1
3. Hypothalamic Tumors
Rare tumors in the hypothalamus can stimulate the pituitary gland to release excess growth hormone.
