SUMMARY

Acromegaly is a serious, chronic, rare, under-recognised and disfiguring disorder. It is therefore vitally important to highlight the importance of an early diagnosis. If untreated, acromegaly not only causes significant morbidity but reduces life expectancy by about 10 years. There are a wide range of symptoms that may go unnoticed by the patient for many years. Alternatively, patients may present with an unrelated problem which leads to investigation and results in defective pituitary function being highlighted. In some cases, patients may have been advised to go to the GP by their dentist, optician or chiropodist who may have noticed some symptoms or signs which could be related to acromegaly. It is important, therefore, that GPs are aware of the symptoms and complications relating to acromegaly particularly as, in many cases, a GP may only ever see one or two patients with this condition.
