Question

Ten-year-old Myles has started growing much taller than the average height of a boy his age. Myles' doctor confirms tumor growth in his pituitary gland. What is Myles' diagnosis?

Answer 1

"gigantism" is the answer. This is because gigantism is a rare condition that causes abnormal growth in children. This change is most notable in terms of height, but girth is affected as well. It occurs when your child’s pituitary gland makes too much growth hormone, which is also known as somatotropin.
