ABSTRACT
We present an unusual coincidence of acromegaly and Turner's syndrome. A girl was diagnosed with Turner's syndrome when she presented with short stature, primary amenorrhea, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and some heart and renal anomalies. No therapy with growth hormone and only a few months treatment with estrogen-progestin was given. A typical picture of acromegaly occurred in the third decade of her life. Bone radiographs and densitometry suggested the more pronounced influence of acromegaly within the skeleton, but no features typical for acromegaly were found in the cardiovascular system. To our knowledge no case of coincidence of the above mentioned conditions has been reported to date. The influence of both of these conditions on bones and heart is discussed.
