Abstract

The possibility of combining acromegaly and gigantism at the present time can be considered established; so, Massalongo in 1892, Dana in 1893, later Brissaud and Meige Waads Hutchinson quite definitely pointed to the relationship between acreomegaly and gigantism. M. Sternberg believes that in almost 40% of cases of gigantism there were manifestations of acromegaly; tѣm at least on some of the details in this area and for this time have stopped little, for example. on the hereditary-family character of the disease (cf. 2 cases of Bonardi and Schwoner’a).
