Acromegaly is caused by hypersecretion of growth hormone. Approximately 95% of cases of acromegaly are caused by pituitary adenoma, whereas less than 5% of cases are attributed to GH releasing hormone (GHRH) -secreting tumor or neuroendocrine tumor. Hyperprolactinemia is found in about 30-40% of acromegalic patients.
