[The succession of precocious puberty and Stein-Leventhal syndrome]

The authors relate the observation of a girl with precocious puberty diagnosed at 4 years, treated for 7 years with medroxyprogesterone and who presents now a Stein-Leventhal syndrome. They emphasize the unique character of this association and discuss the different pathogenetic hypotheses: hypothalamo-pituitary disorder, effect of medroxyprogesterone acetate, hyperinsulinism, casual association.
