Acromegaly is a hormonal disorder that develops when your pituitary gland produces too much growth hormone during adulthood. When this happens, your bones increase in size, including those of your hands, feet and face. Acromegaly usually affects middle-aged adults.
Acromegaly usually affects middle-aged adults, though it can develop at any age. In children who are still growing, too much growth hormone can cause a condition called gigantism. These children have exaggerated bone growth and an abnormal increase in height.
For example let's take this man, he has very masculine facial features, on par with Nikolai Valuev, but is having a face that is too masculine a downside?
Agromegaly and gigantism are similar disorders when you look at them from afar, except gigantism forms because of what cancerous tumor in the pituitary gland which is the inverse of what happens in acromegaly, in acromegaly the tumor that forms is benign by itself and not harmful but it's secretes a disproportionate amount of human growth hormone coming to the next point that agromegaly usually occurs to polarity already adult men in between the ages 30 and 50 while gigantism usually occurs too young and late teens but neither are exclusive to any age group other than very old.
