Precocious puberty: A blessing in disguise!

Indian J Endocrinol Metab. 2013 Oct;17(Suppl 1):S111-3. doi: 10.4103/2230-8210.119522.

Abstract

Germ cell tumors may lead to incomplete isosexual male precocity and are commonly located in the pineal gland. Germinomas of the basal ganglia are almost always unilateral and precocious puberty is a rare manifestation in them. We report a 9.5-year-old boy who presented with incomplete isosexual precocity due to bilateral basal ganglia germinoma.

Keywords: Basal ganglia germinoma; precocious puberty.
