Case in brief

A girl with idiopathic peripheral precocious puberty presented with premature thelarche, recurrent vaginal bleeding, and elevated estradiol levels, alongside ultrasound findings of ovarian cysts. After excluding McCune-Albright syndrome through comprehensive evaluation, she was treated with off-label letrozole. The treatment resulted in regression of uterine maturation and ovarian cysts, normalization of blood tests, and cessation of vaginal bleeding without adverse effects.

Diagnostic / clinical pearl

Letrozole may be an effective treatment for idiopathic peripheral precocious puberty when McCune-Albright syndrome is excluded.
