Gigantism, also known
as giantism from Greek, 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 7 feet (84 inches) (2.13 m) to 9 feet
(108 inches) (2.74 m) in height.
