Abstract:
We present a case of gonadotrophin-independent precocious puberty, as seen in McCune-Albright syndrome, and Leri-Weill dyschondrosteosis in a six and a half year-old girl. Her father also reports having early puberty and is similarly affected with dyschondrosteosis. This combination of features has not been reported previously, and represents the association of a skeletal dysplasia with an endocrinopathy.
