The hormone produced in excessive amounts that leads to enlarged hands and feet, as well as large facial bones in adults, is growth hormone (GH). This condition is known as acromegaly, which typically results from a benign tumor on the pituitary gland that increases GH secretion. The excess growth hormone stimulates the growth of bones and tissues, leading to the characteristic features of the disorder.
