We present an interesting clinical history of acromegaly published in the Italian Experimental Journal of Phreniatry and Legal Medicine of Mental Alienations in 1897 by doctors Imerio Monteverdi and Carlo Tor-racchi. The case allows us to reconstruct the knowledge of the time on acromegaly and to discuss why the role of the pituitary gland in causing the disorder was belatedly recognized.

Abstract
We present an interesting clinical history of acromegaly published in the Italian Experimental Journal of Phreniatry and Legal Medicine of Mental Alienations in 1897 by doctors Imerio Monteverdi and Carlo Tor-racchi. The case allows us to reconstruct the knowledge of the time on acromegaly and to discuss why the role of the pituitary gland in causing the disorder was belatedly recognized.
