Acromegaly and gigantism:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Acromegaly develops slowly and typically produces diaphoresis, oily skin, hypermetabolism, and hypertrichosis. Severe headache, central nervous system impairment, bitemporal hemianopia, loss of visual acuity, and blindness may result from the intrasellar tumor compressing the optic chiasm or nerves.
Hypersecretion of hGH produces cartilaginous and connective tissue overgrowth, resulting in a characteristic hulking appearance, with an enlarged supraorbital ridge and thickened ears and nose. Prognathism, projection of the jaw, becomes marked and may interfere with chewing. Laryngeal hypertrophy, paranasal sinus enlargement, and thickening of the tongue cause the voice to sound deep and hollow. Distal phalanges display an arrowhead appearance on X-rays, and the fingers are thickened. Irritability, hostility, and various psychological disturbances may occur.
Prolonged effects of excessive hGH secretion include bowlegs, barrel chest, arthritis, osteoporosis, kyphosis, hypertension, and arteriosclerosis. Both gigantism and acromegaly may also cause signs of glucose intolerance and clinically apparent diabetes mellitus because of the insulin-antagonistic character of hGH. If acromegaly is left untreated, the patient is at risk for premature cardiovascular disease, colon polyps, and colon cancer.
Gigantism develops abruptly, producing some of the same skeletal abnormalities seen in acromegaly. As the disease progresses, the pituitary tumor enlarges and invades normal tissue, resulting in the loss of other trophic hormones, such as thyroid-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and corticotropin, thus causing the target organ to stop functioning.

Acromegaly and gigantism:
Signs and symptoms
(Handbook of Diseases)
Acromegaly develops slowly, whereas gigantism develops abruptly.
Acromegaly
Acromegaly commonly produces hyperdidrosis, arthropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, proximal muscle weakness and fatigue, acanthosis nigricans and skin tags, and oily skin.
Hypersecretion of HGH produces cartilaginous and connective tissue overgrowth, resulting in a characteristic hulking appearance, with an enlarged supraorbital ridge and thickened ears and nose. Prognathism, projection of the jaw, becomes marked and may interfere with chewing. Laryngeal hypertrophy, paranasal sinus enlargement, and thickening of the tongue cause the voice to sound deep and hollow. Also, the fingers are thickened.
Coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy with arrhythmias, left ventricular hypertrophy, decreased diastolic function, and hypertension occur in 30% of patients; upper airway obstruction with sleep apnea, in 60% of patients. Generalized visceromegaly occurs, including cardiomegaly, macroglossia, and thyroid gland enlargement.
Prolonged effects of excessive HGH secretion include barrel chest and kyphosis. Both gigantism and acromegaly may also cause signs of glucose intolerance and diabetes mellitus because of the insulin-antagonistic character of HGH.
Gigantism
Gigantism produces some of the same skeletal abnormalities seen in acromegaly. As the disease progresses, the pituitary tumor enlarges and invades normal tissue, resulting in the loss of other trophic hormones, such as thyroid-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and corticotropin, thus causing the target organ to stop functioning.
