hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism
Lantern jaw and large hands and feet in adults can be characteristic of acromegaly, a hormonal disorder caused by excessive growth hormone (GH) production in adulthood. This condition is usually the result of a noncancerous tumor in the pituitary gland, which controls hormone production. The excess GH leads to enlargement of bones and tissues, resulting in the lantern jaw, large hands, and feet commonly associated with acromegaly.
Overproduction of growth hormone (somatotropin) causes a disorder characterized by disproportionate over growth of bone, specifically in the skull, jaw, feet and hands. This disorder is called acromegaly
The term for the excess secretion of growth hormone that causes acromegaly and gigantism is "growth hormone hypersecretion." This condition often results from a pituitary adenoma, which is a benign tumor of the pituitary gland. In children, this excess hormone leads to gigantism, characterized by excessive growth, while in adults, it results in acromegaly, where bones and tissues grow larger than normal.
