Following the description of an illustrative case of a 70-year-old female patient with longstanding active acromegaly and invalidating, progressive joint complaints, current insights regarding diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of acromegalic arthropathy are summarized. Since clinical trials on this topic are lacking, the reported recommendations are based on extensive clinical and research experience with this clinical entity, and on established diagnostics and interventions in patients with other rheumatic diseases. The cornerstones of the management of acromegalic arthropathy remains normalization of growth hormone and insulin growth factor-1 levels. However, patients with severe or progressive acromegalic arthropathy require a multidisciplinary approach to determine adequate diagnostics and treatment options. Because of the high prevalence and invalidating character of acromegalic arthropathy, developing evidence-based effective prevention and treatment strategies, preferably by international collaboration within rare disease networks, e.g., Endo-ERN, is a clear unmet need.
