What is ARCOMEGALY about?
Acromegaly is caused by growth hormone hypersecretion, primarily due to somatotrope adenomas or, less commonly, extrapituitary lesions. Clinical features include increased hand and foot size, coarse facial features, and cardiovascular complications. Diagnosis involves elevated serum IGF-1 levels and a confirmatory oral glucose tolerance test, with treatment options including surgery, radiotherapy, and medical therapy.
