| pituitary g. |
gigantism due to excessive pituitary secretion of growth hormone, occurring before puberty and before the epiphyses close; it is most often caused by eosinophilic cell hyperplasia or an eosinophilic adenoma, but sometimes results from a chromophobe adenoma. Called also hyperpituitary g. and Launois' syndrome.
