Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Endocrinology
  • Radiology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Precocious puberty stems from diverse conditions, including idiopathic causes and malignant tumors.
  • Early puberty diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management and long-term health outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the types and etiologies of precocious puberty.
  • To differentiate precocious puberty from normal pubertal variants.
  • To illustrate the role of imaging in evaluating precocious puberty and its causes.

Main Methods:

  • Pictorial review of precocious puberty cases.
  • Discussion of radiologic findings associated with various etiologies.
  • Comparison of imaging features between precocious puberty and pubertal variants.

  • Distinct imaging characteristics help differentiate true precocious puberty from benign pubertal variants.
  • Imaging is essential for assessing treatment response and monitoring disease progression.

Conclusions:

  • Radiologists play a vital role in the diagnosis and management of precocious puberty.
  • Accurate interpretation of imaging studies aids in identifying the etiology and guiding treatment strategies.
  • This review provides a comprehensive guide to the imaging evaluation of precocious puberty.
