Hypertension and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Secondary to Acromegaly, A Rare Endocrine Disease: A Case Report

Acromegaly is an endocrine disorder that emanates from excessive release of growth hormone leading to the production of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) which causes most of the clinical features of the disease. It is caused by somatotroph adenomas of the pituitary gland but familiar causes including tumors associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type I may occur as well.
