McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is classically defined by the clinical triad of fibrous dysplasia of bone (FD), café-au-lait skin spots, and precocious puberty (PP). It is a rare disease with estimated prevalence between 1/100,000 and 1/1,000,000. FD can involve a single or multiple skeletal sites and presents with a limp and/or pain, and, occasionally, a pathologic fracture. Scoliosis is common...

McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is a rare, heterogenous, clinical condition caused by a rare genetic mutation. The disorder is more common in females and is characterized by a triad of cutaneous, bone and endocrine abnormalities.  We describe a girl patient with MAS having precocious puberty and multiple cafe-au-lait macules and deforming polyostotic fibrous dysplasia of bone. Clinical presentat...

This study of 22 patients with the McCune-Albright syndrome examined the scintigraphic distribution of fibrous dysplasia. The most frequently affected areas were the base of the skull (82% of patients), mandible (50%), facial bones (45%), femora (59%), and legs (64%). The least frequently affected areas included the hands (none), wrists (none), ankles (none), feet (5%), sacrum (5%), and vertebr...

Many studies have been made in the past in an effort to understand the pathogenetic factors that are involved in the development of fibrous dysplasia and McCune-Albright syndrome. Recently, with the aid of cellular and molecular biology, the implication of G protein mutations have been demonstrated to be a crucial etiopathogenetic factor for the manifestations of these disorders. In this paper,...

McCune-Albright Syndrome (MAS) is a rare sporadic disease characterized by bone fibrous dysplasia, Café au lait spots and a variable association of hyperfunction endocrine disorders. There is not any certain treatment available for this syndrome, and both physical and emotional disability in these patients is still a major concern for physicians. In present report we have described a 10- year-o...

The McCune-Albright Syndrome (MAS) is a sporadic rare disease first described in 1936 by McCune and separately by Albright. MAS is characterized by a triad of physical signs: café-au-lait spots, polyostotic fibrous dysplasia and autonomous endocrine hyperfunction. MAS is predominantly observed in girls and is rarely reported in males. We report the case of a 9-year old boy with gonadotropin ind...
