Gigantism, also called pituitary gigantism, is a very rare condition in which a child has high levels of growth hormone, causing abnormal growth, especially in height. The effects of gigantism begin in childhood, before the growth plates in the bones fuse at the end of puberty.

Gigantism and acromegaly are syndromes of excessive secretion of growth hormone (hypersomatotropism) that are nearly always due to a pituitary adenoma. Before closure of the epiphyses, the result is gigantism. Later, the result is acromegaly, which causes distinctive facial and other features.
