Acromegaly
Acromegaly is a chronic metabolic disorder caused by the presence of too much growth hormone. The cause of the increased hormone secretion is usually a benign tumor of the pituitary gland. It results in gradual enlargement of body tissues including the bones of the face, jaw, hands, feet, and skull. [http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/]
