Precocious Pseudo-puberty in a Two-year-old Girl, Presenting with Bilateral Ovarian Enlargement and Progressing to Unilateral Juvenile Granulosa Cell Tumour
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Ovarian causes of precocious pseudo-puberty (PPP) include McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) and juvenile granulosa cell tumour (JGCT). We describe a case of PPP in which bilateral ovarian enlargement with multiple cysts progressed to unilateral JGCT. A girl aged 2.17 years presented with three months of breast development, and rapid growth. Examination showed tall stature, height +2.6 standard deviations, Tanner stage B3P2A1. A single caf au lait patch was noted. Bone age was advanced at 5 years. Pelvic ultrasound showed bilaterally enlarged ovaries (estimated volumes 76 mL on the left, 139 mL on the right), each containing multiple cysts. Luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) values before/after gonadotrophin administration were 0.43/0.18 and <0.1/<0.1 mUI/mL, serum estradiol 130 pg/mL, (prepubertal range <20 pg/mL). PPP of ovarian origin was diagnosed, and tamoxifen 20 mg daily started. However, after only seven weeks height velocity escalated and breast development increased to B3-4 with menorrhagia. Basal/ stimulated LH and FSH were still suppressed at 0.13/0.25 and <0.1/<0.1 mUI/mL and, serum estradiol 184 pg/mL. Repeat imaging now showed normal right ovary (volume 1.8 mL) and a large left-sided vascular solid/cystic ovarian tumour which was excised (weight 850 g). Histology showed JGCT, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage IA. DNA from tumour tissue showed no mutation in GNAS, exon 3 of AKT1 (which contains a mutational hotspot) or FOXL2. The observation that bilateral ovarian activity progressed to unilateral development of JGCT in this patient is novel. This case highlights current uncertainties in the ontology of JGCT, and its possible relationship with MAS.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
