Acromegaly is a rare hormonal disorder resulting from excess growth hormone secretion, typically due to a benign pituitary adenoma. Treatment aims to reduce growth hormone levels, alleviate symptoms, and prevent complications. Primary treatments include surgical resection of the pituitary tumor, often achieved via transsphenoidal surgery. Medications such as somatostatin analogs, and growth hormone receptor antagonists are used to inhibit growth hormone production or block its effects. Radiotherapy is also an option for patients who do not respond adequately to surgery or medication.
