Summary

McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) can involve thyroid issues. Three girls with MAS showed thyroid nodules on ultrasound but remained euthyroid, questioning optimal follow-up and treatment strategies for these lesions.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Genetics
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is a rare genetic disorder.
  • MAS classically presents with a triad of precocious puberty, polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, and café-au-lait spots.
  • Associated endocrine abnormalities are common, particularly thyroid dysfunction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence and significance of thyroid nodules in pediatric patients with MAS.
  • To evaluate the clinical and biological status of the thyroid in MAS patients with sonographic findings.
  • To discuss the implications for patient management and follow-up protocols.

Main Methods:

  • Case series reporting on three pediatric patients diagnosed with MAS.
  • Sonographic evaluation of the thyroid gland was performed.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Clinical assessment and biochemical thyroid function tests were conducted.

    • Main Results:

    • All three patients with MAS exhibited heteronodular thyroids on ultrasound.
    • Despite sonographic findings, all patients were clinically and biochemically euthyroid.
    • No immediate need for intervention was identified based on current thyroid status.

    Conclusions:

    • Thyroid nodules may be an under-recognized feature in pediatric MAS.
    • Routine thyroid ultrasound in MAS patients is warranted to detect structural abnormalities.
    • Further research is needed to establish optimal long-term surveillance and management guidelines for thyroid lesions in MAS.
