Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2019 Acromegaly is characterized by increased release of growth hormone and, consequently, insulin-like growth factor I (IGF1), most often by a pituitary adenoma. Prolonged exposure to excess hormone leads to progressive somatic disfigurement and a wide range of systemic manifestations that are associated with increased mortality. Although considered a rare

SUMMARYA personal series of 256 cases of acromegaly/gigantism seen over a 20‐year period from 1963 is described. The insidious nature of the condition resulted in delay in diagnosis which was often made by a doctor when seeing the patient for an unrelated problem.

Acromegaly is a slowly progressive disease characterized by 30% increase of mortality rate for cardiovascular disease, respiratory complications and malignancies. The estimated prevalence of the disease is 40 cases/1000000 population with 3-4 new cases/1000000 population per year.

Ectopic acromegaly is a rare syndrome (less than 1% of acromegalic patients) caused by ectopic growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) or growth hormone (GH)-producing tumors. Its recognition is clinically important because acromegaly may be a symptom of an aggressive tumor, and different therapeutic approaches are required.

Subcellular mechanisms support the notion of an intrinsic pituitary defect in acromegaly, with elevated growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels that affect the cardiovascular and respiratory system, as well as neoplastic cell proliferative activity.

Most pituitary tumors are sporadic, though a few occur with a familial aggregation. Three distinct syndromes have been recognized to date: multiple endocrine neoplasia, type I (MEN-1), Carney complex (CNC), and isolated familial somatotropinomas (IFS). Pituitary tumor types in MEN-1 are similar to those occurring sporadically.
