Abstract
McCune-Albright syndrome is a rare and challenging congenital sporadic disease involving the skin and skeletal and endocrine systems. In addition to the classical triad of fibrous dysplasia of bone, café au lait pigmented skin lesions and precocious puberty, other multiple endocrinological features, including hyperthyroidism, growth hormone excess, hypercortisolism, and hypophosphatemic rickets, have been reported. A brief review of the syndrome in children is here reported.
