Gigantism

Gigantism is a rare disease that causes abnormal growth in children. This change is most noticeable in terms of height, but the circumference is also affected. It occurs when your child's pituitary gland produces too much growth hormone, also known as somatotropin. Early diagnosis is important. Prompt treatment can stop or slow down the changes that can cause your child to become larger than normal. However, the condition can be difficult for parents to detect. The symptoms of gigantism may look like normal growth spurts at first glance. A pituitary tumor is almost always the cause of gigantism. The pea-sized pituitary gland is located at the base of your brain. It produces hormones that control many of your body's functions. Some tasks managed by the gland include: temperature control, sexual development, growth metabolism, urine production.
