Precocious Puberty Protocol

The document describes a patient's medical history and examination. It notes the patient had gradual abdominal enlargement from birth with no other issues. Imaging showed a large cystic mass in the abdomen. Lab tests revealed elevated markers suggestive of an estrogen secreting ovarian tumor, consistent with the patient's physical exam and symptoms of precocious puberty.

History of present illness:

At birth, the patient’s mother noticed the patient’s enlarged abdomen but
there were no associated signs and symptoms like change in bladder and bowel
patterns, thus there was no consult done and no medications given.
Gradual abdominal enlargement was noted, but still no consult was done.
A month prior to admission, mother noted bilateral breast budding, with no
other associated signs like presence of axillary or pubic hair nor vaginal
bleeding. However, a mass was noted on the left inguinal area, which was more
prominent when patient would cry or strain. Thus mother decided to seek
consultation at Negros Oriental Provincial Hospital, ultrasound of the whole
abdomen was done which showed cystic mass on the left hemiabdomen with
septation and loculations to consider an ovarian cyst, reducible hernia on the
left inguinal region possibly the result from the pressure exerted by the cystic
mass, with negative ultrasound of the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen,
kidneys and urinary bladder. Her working diagnosis then was inguinal hernia
and ovarian new growth. So additional work up were requested like CA-125,
CEA and AFP and referred to this institution for further management.
She was seen at the outpatient department and was requested with BHCG,
LDH and CT scan of the whole abdomen with contrast which revealed a large
septated cystic mass extending from the pelvis to the abdominal cavity,
measuring 8.4 x 15.5 x 13.4 cm, representing an ovarian pathology, thus
advised admission.

Prenatal history:
The patient was born, full term, without any complications except for
abdominal distension, by normal spontaneous delivery to a 20 year old mother
at their Local Health Center assisted by a midwife. Regular prenatal check-up
was done at their local health center and mother had no known maternal
illnesses, no medications were taken during her pregnancy.

Past Medical history


The patient was exclusively breastfed from birth until 6 months of age,
started with mixed feeding at 7 months. She is still breastfeeding at this age.
She had no previous hospitalizations and surgery.

Family history:
She has a positive family history of hypertension on both sides.

The patient is living with her parents and 1 sibling.The primary care giver is
the mother. For her developmental milestone, she sits without support, stands
with support but still unable to walk.

and examined by Gyne, with additional imaging requested: Bone aging by X-
ray of the left wrist, APL and to refer to pediatric surgery. The patient was seen
