Abstract
An 18-month-old boy was diagnosed as having a hypothalamic hamartoma. When he was 1 year old, he developed precocious puberty, and at 18 months old, endocrinological tests revealed abnormally high follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, and testosterone levels. The center of the hamartoma was subtotally excised, as confirmed on the postoperative computerized tomography scan. Precocious puberty subsided after the operation.Keywords
