Objective: To analyze the pathology of acromegaly. Method: Descriptive documentary. Conclusion: Acromegaly is a rare condition, its multisystemic nature and its etiopathogenic and pathophysiological bases have allowed important advances in the understanding of the interaction of the somatotropic axis and intermediary metabolism, vascular endothelial damage and tumor genesis mechanisms. At present, the treatment of acromegaly should contemplate not only the surgical, pharmacological and radiotherapeutic aspects of the management of the GH-producing adenoma; careful treatment of associated comorbidities should also be taken into account.
