Abstract

Introduction

Acromegaly is a rare endocrine disorder caused by excessive secretion of Growth Hormone (GH), usually from a pituitary adenoma [1]. Hirsutism, a condition characterized by excessive terminal hair growth in a male pattern in women, has been occasionally reported as a cutaneous manifestation of acromegaly but is rarely the presenting symptom [2, 3]. We report a rare case of acromegaly revealed by hirsutism.
