We report a case of McCune-Albright syndrome diagnosed on these cutaneous signs and precocious puberty. This is a 4.5-year-old girl referred by a gynecologist for a pediatric endocrinology ...

The syndrome of thyroid hormone resistance (THR), is an inherited condition that occurs in 1 of 40,000 live births characterized by a reduced responsiveness of target tissues to thyroid hormone due to mutations on the thyroid hormone receptor. We report the case of a girl who presented at 18 months of age with growth retardation persistent tachycardia and chronic diarrhea, serology testing for coeliac disease was negative. Serum levels of total and free T4 and T3 were elevated...
