Abstract
A case of McCune—Albright Syndrome in a 3½-year-old girl is presented. Although there
was clinical evidence of increased estrogen production, no steroid-dependent growth
phase was apparent on her growth velocity chart. Complications of polyostotic fibrous
dysplasia are discussed, and emphasis is placed on a multidisciplinary approach to
patients with McCune—Albright Syndrome.
