- Abstract: Precocious puberty is the appearance of physical and hormonal signs of pubertal development at an earlier age than is considered normal. The causes may range from a variant of normal development to pathologic conditions such as glands that function abnormally early in life.

Gluteal mass cytological features are consistent with a malignant round cell tumor.
