[Early puberty and thoracic mass: presentation of a case].

Abstract

Se reporta el caso de un paciente de 7 años de edad, que inicia su enfermedad con disnea progresiva, el desarrollo genital, de acuerdo con los criterios de Marshall y Tanner, muestra un estadio G2 VP3. En el tórax se halló una tumoración de bordes regulares y definidos, con presencia de calcificaciones y áreas quísticas de contenido heterogéneo. Las determinaciones basales de FSH, LH y testosterona fueron de 10 mUI/mL, 12,2 mUI/mL y 724 ng/dL, respectivamente. La determinación de la α-feto proteína fue de 145,1 ng/mL. La exéresis del tumor mejoró el cuadro respiratorio, la remisión de los niveles hormonales y la detención del proceso de pubertad precoz. El estudio anatomopatológico de la tumoración mediastinal correspondió a un tumor de células germinales con componente predominante de teratoma maduro y coriocarcinoma. La pubertad precoz de etiología neoplásica es una causa rara, su diagnóstico es primordial para aplicar un tratamiento oportuno.

A case is reported of a 7 year old patient with progressive dyspnea and genital development according to Marshall and Tanner criteria at the G2 VP3 stage. A mass of regular and well-defined borders was found in the chest, with calcifications and cystic areas of heterogeneous content. Basal measurements of FSH, LH and testosterone were 10 mIU/mL, 12.2 mIU/mL and 724 ng/dL, respectively. α-fetoprotein was 145.1 ng/mL. Excising the tumor improved respiratory symptoms, diminished hormone levels and stopped the process of precocious puberty. Pathology of the mediastinal tumor corresponded to a germ cell tumor with a predominant component of mature teratoma and choriocarcinoma. Neoplastic causes of precocious puberty are uncommon; its diagnosis is essential in order to provide timely treatment.
