Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 12
Abstract
Hypothyroidism is generally associated with delayed puberty. However it may sometimes present with incomplete precocious puberty. Also hypothyroidism may lead to pituitary hyperplasia as a feedback tumour. We present a case of 7and ½ year old hypothyroid girl who presented with an episode of vaginal bleed, and pituitary enlargement mimicking macroadenoma which subsided after 2 months of Levothyroxine replacement.
