  • Title: Letrozole significantly improves growth potential in a pubertal boy with growth hormone deficiency.
    Author: Zhou P, Shah B, Prasad K, David R.
    Journal: Pediatrics; 2005 Feb; 115(2):e245-8. PubMed ID: 15653791.
    Abstract:
    Clinical experience with using an aromatase inhibitor to suppress estrogen production during puberty for improvement of growth potential in adolescents with short stature is limited. This report documents treatment of such a patient with a combination of growth hormone and letrozole, a third-generation aromatase inhibitor. Our case demonstrates a favorable outcome on a short-term basis.
