Precocious puberty
Peutz–Jeghers syndrome
suspected when two or more of the following features are present:
Fibrous dysplasia
Café au lait macules following lines of Blaschko
Hyperfunctioningendocrine disease
(Precious puberty, hyperthyroidism, testicular abnormalities, growth hormone excess, Cushing’s syndrome)

Tx for McCune Albright precocious puberty
Testolactone
Tamoxifen
Thyroid metabolism of fetus occurs
Third trimester
___ exerts metabolic effect and negative feedback on TSH release
Ft3
