Abstract
Hypophyseal gigantism is a rare disease that develops due to the secretion of growthhormone in excess of the pituitary before epiphyseal plaques are closed, leading to a rapid and extreme height extension. In this case report, a patient was diagnosed with ahypophyseal gigantism who was suspected and investigated physical characteristics ofa 15 year old male patient who came to Ordu University Training and Research Hospital Family Medicine Polyclinic to receive a medical report to play volleyball. In this case,it was tried to draw attention to the fact that different patient groups could apply to Fa-mily Medicine polyclinics.

Hipofizer gigantizm epifizyal plaklar kapanmadan önce hipofizden fazla miktarda büyüme hormonu salgılanmasına bağlı olarak gelişen, hızlı ve aşırı bir boy uzamasına yolaçan nadir bir hastalıktır.Bu olgu sunumunda, Ordu Üniversitesi Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Aile Hekimliği polikliniğine voleybol oynamak için sağlık raporu almaya gelen 15 yaşındaki erkek hastanın fiziki özelliklerinden şüphelenilmesi ve araştırılması sonucu hipofizer gigantizm tanısı alan bir hasta tartışılmıştır.Bu vaka ile Aile Hekimliği polikliniklerine farklı hasta gruplarının başvurabileceğine dikkat çekilmeye çalışılmıştır.
