Cushing syndrome is uncommon in childhood and rare in infancy. We report the case of a 3-yr-old child who presented with symptoms of Cushing syndrome beginning shortly after birth. Her hypercortisolemia was cyclical, causing relapsing and remitting symptoms, which eventually led to suspicions of possible Munchausen syndrome by proxy. Investigation at the National Institutes of Health excluded e...

McCune-Albright Syndrome is a rare syndrome characterized with excessive function of peripheral endocrine organs and activating mutations of the stimulatory G protein alpha subunit are involved in the pathogenesis. The three main findings of the disease include hyperpigmented café au lait spots, fibrous dysplasia and increased endocrine functions and excessive secretion of growth hormone is obs...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Fibrous dysplasia is a condition of nonmalignant osseous change and may occur in a monostotic or polyostotic pattern, the latter potentially being associated with McCune-Albright syndrome. Symptoms are highly variable and dependent upon lesion location and size. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective review. METHODS Consecutive subjects with fibrous dysplasia of the temporal bone ...

McCune-Albright syndrome is characterized by the triad café-au-lait cutaneous spots, polyostotic fibrous dysplasia and endocrinopathies. This article presents two cases of McCune-Albright syndrome in a middle-aged woman and a young girl. Both patients presented café-au-lait spots on the face and other parts of the body and expansion of the mandible with radiopaque-radiolucent areas with ground-...

Giriş: Fibröz displazi (FD), fibroosseöz dokunun normal kemiğin yerini aldığı bir kemik hastalığıdır. FD monostotik veya poliostotik (McCune-Albright Sendromu) formda olabilir. Tanı radyolojik ve histopatolojik incelemeye dayanır. Bu çalışmada konservatif kontur düzeltme yaklaşımı ile tedavi edilen ağrılı olgusu sunulmuştur.
 Olgu Tanımlaması: Kliniğimize üst çenesinde 4 aydır mevcut olan ...

a 29- year old female with bone pain and history of precocious puberty was referred for bone scintigraphy. on physical examination café au lait macular spots were noted on her neck, buttocks and left leg. bone scan showed multiple areas of intense increased activity which was in favour of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia. considering the presence of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, precocious pubert...

McCune-Albright syndrome is a rare sporadic disease characterized by bone fibrous dysplasia, café-au-lait skin spots and a variable association of hyperfunctional endocrine disorders. Fibrous dysplasia (FD), which can involve the craniofacial, axial, and appendicular skeleton, may range from an isolated, asymptomatic monostotic lesion to a severe disabling polyostotic disease involving the enti...

McCune-Albright syndrome is a rare genetic disorder with typical skeletal and endocrine manifestations. The disease course is complicated by recurrent fractures resulting from polyostotic fibrous dysplasia and the treatment is thus primarily directed at the reduction of the risk of fractures. However, due to the complex mechanism of the skeletal damage the standard antiporotic therapeutics are ...

The syndrome of McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is clasically defined as a triad presentation with the findings of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, café-au-lait spots, and sexual precocity. However, not all patients present with complete symptoms. A 52-year-old man was diagnosed as having a variant of McCune-Albright syndrome with the following findings: polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, acromegaly d...

BACKGROUND Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a benign fibro-osseous lesion related to an abnormal bone development and replacement by fibrous tissue. FD has three clinical patterns namely monostotic, polyostotic, and the McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS). MAS is a rare genetic disorder (about 3% of all FD's) that comprises a triad of polyostotic FD, café-au-lait skin macules, and precocious puberty. MAS c...
