-==Pituitary gigantism in children==
-This condition of growth hormone excess is rare in children and is referred to as [[gigantism|pituitary gigantism]], because the excessive growth hormone produces excessive growth of bones and the child can achieve excessive height. As an affected child becomes an adult, many of the adult problems can gradually develop. The distinction between gigantism (occurring in children) and acromegaly (occurring in adults) can be made by the occurrence of the adenoma in relation to the closure of the [[Bone#Formation|epiphyses]]. If elevated growth hormone levels occur before the closure of the epiphyses (i.e. in prepubertal children), then gigantism ensues.  If it occurs after the closure of the epiphyses (i.e., in adults) then acromegaly ensues.
