| ALT_DEFINITION |
Excessive growth of body tissues due to overproduction of growth hormone in an individual who has completed linear growth. A condition in which the pituitary gland makes too much growth hormone after normal growth of the skeleton is finished. This causes the bones of the hands, feet, head, and face to grow larger than normal. Acromegaly can be caused by a pituitary gland tumor.
