Gigantism also known as giantism (from Greek γίγας gigas giant plural γίγαντες gigantes) is a condition characterized by excessive growth and height significantly above average. In humans this condition is caused by over-production of growth hormone in childhood resulting in persons between 2.13 m (7 feet or 84 inches) and 2.74 m (9 feet or 108 inches) in height.
