ABSTRACT
@#Growth hormone - secreting pituitary adenomas are the cause of acromegaly in 95% of patients. In rare circumstances, a pituitary adenoma on magnetic resonance imaging cannot be found; hence, a search for an ectopic source of GH production is done. Even rarer is an acromegalic patient without an ectopic source and without imaging evidence of pituitary adenoma. We report a case of acromegaly with no evidence of a pituitary adenoma and no evidence of an ectopic source after imaging studies; who underwent medical therapy with improving biochemical and clinical parameters.
