    Abstract:
    Authors describe a case of a boy aged 8-10/12 years with precocious puberty associated with Von Recklinghausen's disease. He was treated with cyproterone acetate (100 mg/m2/24 h oral doses) and controlled for a period of two years. He shows very few effects of puberal physical signs and improvement of his sexual behavioral area. They have evaluated growth evolution by different parameters and couldn't appreciate any improvement because of the advanced bone age (13-6/12 years) when treatment was started.
