Patients' selection. When speaking about McCune-Albright syndrome, you have to pay attention to the main symptoms which are peripheral precocious puberty, skin cafè-au-lait spots, and fibrous osseous dysplasia. These three symptoms define the syndrome in general, but we will see afterward that the syndrome is heterogeneous in size, symptom, and expression. McCune-Albright syndrome contains and can give source to multiple endocrine hyperfunctions. Today, we will speak about those, but we will not forget that there are several isolated endocrine hyperfunctions also. These are gonadal hyperfunctions, pituitary GH-secreting adenomas, pituitary ACTH-secreting adenomas, adrenal adenomas, thyroid nodules.
