Gigantism (Greek γίγας, gígas, "goliath", plural γίγαντες, gígantes), otherwise called giantism, is a condition described by over the top development and stature essentially better than expected. In people, this condition is brought about by over-creation of development hormone in adolescence bringing about individuals 7 to 9 ft (2.1 to 2.7 m) in height. It is an uncommon issue coming about because of expanded degrees of development hormone before the combination of the development plate which generally happens sooner or later not long after pubescence. This expansion is frequently because of strange tumor developments on the pituitary gland.Gigantism ought not be mistaken for acromegaly, the grown-up type of the turmoil, portrayed by substantial growth explicitly in the limits and face.
