肢端肥大症是一种获得性疾病，与骨骺关闭后生长激素的过度产生有关。它的特点是进行性的躯体毁容(主要累及面部和四肢)和全身表现。患病率估计为1：140,000-250,000。虽然肢端肥大症很少表现在口面部，但青春期后发展为错牙合的患者必须考虑这种情况。在此，我们提出一个肢端肥大症的病例，并对文献作简要回顾。
Acromegaly is an acquired disorder related to excessive production of growth hormone after epiphyseal closure of bones. It is characterized by progressive somatic disfigurement (mainly involving the face and extremities) and systemic manifestations. The prevalence is estimated at 1:140,000-250,000. Although acromegaly rarely manifests in the orofacial regions, it must be considered in patients who develop malocclusion after adolescence. Here, we present a case of acromegaly with brief review of the literature.
