A rare cause of acromegaly: McCune-Albright syndrome

Abstract

McCune-Albright syndrome is characterized by polyostatic fibrous dysplasia, brown spots on the skin (café au lait pigmentation) and autonomous endocrine hyperfunction. Early puberty and other endocrinological manifestations, such as acromegaly, gigantism and hypercortisolism are widely observed in the syndrome. Acromegaly is seen in 20% of patients. We report a case of acromegaly accompanied with this syndrome.

Key words: McCune-Albright syndrome; acromegaly; fibrous dysplasia

Akromegalinin nadir bir nedeni: McCune-Albright sendromu

Abstract

McCune-Albright sendromu, poliostotik fibröz displazi, deride kahverenginde lekelenme (Cafe au lait lekeleri) ve otonomik endokrin hiperfonksiyon ile karakterize bir sendromdur. Bu sendromda yaygın olarak erken puberte ve diğer endokrinolojik manifestasyonlar örneğin akromegali, jigantizm, hiperkortizolizm görülebilir. Akromegali Mc-Cune-Albriht sendromlu hastaların % 20 sinde görülebilir. Biz bu sendroma eşlik eden bir akromegali vakasını sunduk
