Hi...., Looks like its a gigantism...it is is an endocrine disorder resulting from long-term secretion of too much growth hormone which accelerates the growth of muscle, bones and connective tissue in childhood or adolescenc..... signs and symptoms of gigantism are the accelerated growth leading to above-normal expected height.... Gigantism is generally not inherited....
Kindly consult your endocrinologist they will do the needful....
