Objective: Goiter occurs at high frequency in acromegaly patients. Whether normalization of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels could decrease goiter and thyroid volume remains unclear.Methods: Thyroid hormone levels and ultrasound measurements were assessed in 101 acromegaly patients, compared with 108 patients with nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma (NFPA) and 55 healthy controls. Thirty-four acromegaly patients underwent repeat evaluation 1 year post-transsphenoidal surgery. The effect of IGF-1 on thyroid cell proliferation, cell cycle, and apoptosis was evaluated in vitro.Results: Acromegaly patients showed larger thyroid volume than those with NFPAs (18.32 mL vs. 9.91 mL; P
