Abstract
Acromegalyis a rare disease resulting from excessive production of growth hormone. The diagnosis is essential to prevent its complications, reducing morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate how acromegaly can affect the lower limbs of patients participating in the research. A self-perception questionnaire was applied to a group of Five acromegalic patients, aged between 29 and 78 years, containing 8 identification questions, and 9 directed to foot characteristics or events related to them. The results point to the presence of podopathies such as onychogryphosis, onychocryptosis, apparent mycosis, hyperhidrosis, bromhidrosis, in addition to the report of pain arising from arthralgias. In the evidence of the foot disorders found, the role of the podiatrist can be attributed to taking care of foot disorders developed from acromegaly, assisting in the treatment of the underlying disease, and providing guidance on best practices for foo thealth in order to obtain better quality of life care.
