Abstract
An uncle and nephew with acromegaly are described. Two other families with acromegaly have been reported by others and three other possible cases are reviewed. Our patients are unlikely to form part of the multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type 1 syndrome because of the absence of other endocrine disease at an advanced age. A family history of acromegaly should be considered in those presenting with the disease.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
