Gigantism is primarily caused by an excess of growth hormone (GH), which is produced by the pituitary gland. This overproduction typically results from a benign tumor called an adenoma. The excess GH stimulates linear growth and can lead to increased height and other physical changes. The exact amount of excess hormone varies among individuals, as it depends on the size and activity of the tumor.
