World's Tallest Man to Have Surgery to Stop Growth
27-year-old from Turkey is more than 8 feet tall as a result of a rare hormonal condition called acromegaly, which causes the pituitary gland to produce too much growth hormone, usually as a result of a noncancerous tumor on the pituitary gland.

Ectopic Acromegaly due to a Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone Producing Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor
Weiss DE et al. – Ectopic GHRH production is a rare cause of acromegaly. In this case, a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor produced GHRH in the setting of MEN–1. The acromegaly was resistant to somatostatin analog therapy, reflecting the negative

Control of acromegaly important to reduce CHD risk
Patients with acromegaly have an increased prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors, including hypertension, decreased HDL and diabetes, researchers found. 'Our data clearly suggest that beside treatment of comorbidities, effective control of acromegaly

Cardiac effects of 3 months treatment of acromegaly evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging and B-type natriuretic peptides
Andreassen M et al. – Long–term treatment of acromegaly prevents aggravation and reverses associated heart disease. A previous study has shown a temporary increase in serum levels of the N–terminal fraction of pro B–type natriuretic peptide
