Transient pseudo-precocious puberty by probable oestrogen intake in 3 girls

A M Pasquino et al. Arch Dis Child. 1982 Dec.

Abstract

We report the clinical and laboratory findings in 3 prepubertal girls with transient signs of sexual precocity. Accidental oestrogen intake from contaminated food was the most likely cause, the luteinsing hormone—releasing hormone test showing suppressed secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinsing hormone at the time of maximal oestrogenisation.
