Extractions: Acromegaly A malignant endocrinopathy due to excessive production of growth hormone by the pituitary gland. The excessive growth hormone causes abnormally aggressive bone growth with changes in the face (brow, nose, jaw), the fingers, and the feet. Growth hormone can also cause problems with the heart (cardiomyopathy).

It most commonly affects middle-aged adults and can result in serious illness and premature death. Once recognized, acromegaly is treatable in most patients, but because of its slow and often insidious onset, it frequently is not diagnosed correctly.

http://www.slider.com/enc/1000/acromegaly.htm

Extractions: acromegaly adult endocrine disorder resulting from hypersecretion of growth hormone produced by the pituitary gland. Since the bones cannot increase in length after full growth is attained, there is a disproportionate thickening of bones, predominantly in the skull and small bones of the hands and feet. Fingers and toes become broadened and spadelike, the skull increases in size, and the cheek bones and jaws protrude. Many of the soft tissues, such as the tongue and liver, enlarge. Frequently glucose metabolism is disturbed, leading to diabetes mellitus. Acromegaly is usually caused by a tumor of the pituitary; treatment consists of irradiation or surgical removal of the tumor. Onset of the disease can also occur in children, before the epiphyses of the bones are closed. In such cases the disorder leads to gigantism

http://atoz.iqhealth.com/HealthAnswers/encyclopedia/HTMLfiles/480.html

Extractions: Most cases of acromegaly are caused by a pituitary tumor that is benign, which means that it is not cancer. The tumor causes the pituitary gland to make excess hormones. The high level of growth hormone produces changes in many tissues and organs. Acromegaly occurs after growth has been completed. In most cases, it begins between the ages of 30 and 50. Acromegaly develops slowly. In many people, the changes are so slow that they are not noticed for years. Some of the signs and symptoms of acromegaly include: coarse body hair deep, husky voice erectile dysfunction exaggerated facial features excessive sweating and often an offensive body odor headaches irregular menstrual cycles irritability joint pain protrusion of the jaw swelling of the hands and feet thickening of the ribs, creating a barrel chest

Extractions: Patients with acromegaly have enlarged facial features. The mandible increases in thickness and length. There is an overgrowth of soft tissues of the upper airway, resulting in an enlarged tongue and epiglottis. Subsequently these patients are more susceptible to upper airway obstruction. There may be involvement of the vocal cords and a reduction in the subglottic diameter of the trachea.

Extractions: Acromegaly This is nearly always due to a pituitary tumour that leads to an excess of growth hormone. In children an excess of growth hormone leads to gigantism but in adults, because the epiphyses have fused the condition is different.

Extractions: Acromegaly, a condition caused by increased secretion of growth hormone after normal growth has been completed, occurs in adults. When excessive secretion of growth hormone occurs in children before normal growth has been completed, it causes gigantism rather than acromegaly. The cause of the increased hormone secretion is usually a benign pituitary tumor . The pituitary gland, which is located at the base of the brain, controls the production and release of several different hormones. There are no known risk factors other than prior history of a pituitary tumor. Acromegaly occurs in 6 out of 100,000 people. enlarged hands enlarged feet widened fingers or toes due to skin overgrowth with swelling , redness, and pain. enlarged jaw (prognathism) enlarged facial bones thickening of the skin enlarged sebaceous glands hoarseness headache double vision vomiting ... excessive sweating decreased muscle strength ( weakness motion limitation, or loss of range of motion

Extractions: Acromegaly is the Greek word for "extremities" and "enlargement." When the pituitary gland produces excess growth hormones, this results in excessive growth called acromegaly. The excessive growth occurs first in the hands and feet, as soft tissue begins to swell. Acromegaly affects mostly middle-aged adults. Untreated, the disease can lead to severe illness and death.

http://www.ahealthyadvantage.com/topic/topic100586388

Extractions: Acromegaly is a disorder in which the abnormal release of a particular chemical from the pituitary gland in the brain causes increased growth in bone and soft tissue, as well as a variety of other disturbances throughout the body. This chemical released from the pituitary gland is called growth hormone (GH). The body's ability to process and use nutrients like fats and sugars is also altered. In children whose bony growth plates have not closed, the chemical changes of acromegaly result in exceptional growth of long bones. This variant is called gigantism, with the additional bone growth causing unusual height. When the abnormality occurs after bone growth stops, the disorder is called acromegaly. Description Acromegaly is a relatively rare disorder, occurring in approximately 50 out of every one million people (50/1,000,000). Both men and women are affected. Because the symptoms of acromegaly occur so gradually, diagnosis is often delayed. The majority of patients are not identified until they are middle aged.
