Abstract:
McCune-Albright syndrome is a rare disease. It's triad is 1) precocious puberty, 2) fibrous dysplasia of bone and 3) caf-al-lait spots on skin. The cause is known as the mutation of subunit of G protein. Although there are some suggestions of treatment regimens including antiestrogen and GnRH agonist, at present, the accurate management is not known. We have experienced a case of McCune-Albright syndrome who has precocious puberty and fibrous dysplasia without caf-al-lait spot, and we present the case with a review of related literatures.
