The correct answer is Acromegaly.

Hypersecretion of hGH which causes overgrowth of the feet and hands, abnormal thickening of bones of the face, excessive overgrowth of soft tissue, which occurs after puberty is known as acromegaly.
The symptoms of acromegaly are enlargement of feet and hands, forehead, nose, and jaw.
This disease has some complications. For example, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, type two diabetes. Acromegaly results because of the pituitary gland which produces too much growth hormone.
