    hormonal disorder causing abnormal growth of bones and tissues

    Acromegaly is a hormonal disorder that results from the excessive production of growth hormone (GH) by the pituitary gland, often due to a benign tumor called an adenoma. This condition leads to the enlargement of bones and tissues, particularly in the hands, feet, and face, and can cause various complications if left untreated.
