Abstract

Acromegaly is a severe neuroendocrine disease that develops as a result of chronic hypersecretion or an increase in the biological activity of growth hormone (GH). Most cases of the disease are associated with somatotropic pituitary adenoma. Very rarely, acromegaly develops as a result of increased secretion of somatoliberin in the hypothalamus or may be caused by an ectopic tumor secreting GH or somatoliberin.
