Question

What is the reason for the condition acromegaly?

Answer 1

Answer:

In adults, a tumor is the most common cause of too much GH production: Pituitary tumors. Most cases of acromegaly are caused by a noncancerous (benign) tumor (adenoma) of the pituitary gland. The tumor secretes excessive amounts of growth hormone, causing many of the signs and symptoms of acromegaly.
