Gigantism is a problem of the endocrine system caused when the pituitary gland secretes too much growth hormone during childhood before the bones have completed their growth cycle. As a result the body's long bones become overdeveloped. The person grows to an abnormally tall height. This very rare disorder can be the result of a tumor in the pituitary gland.
