[Cellular material in urinary sediment in retarded or precocious puberty].
The cellular material studied in the urinary sediment mainly obtained from exfolied alls the bladder trigone was submitted to hormonal stimulation. These cell changes constitute the basis of a cytologic method called the urocytogram. The urocytogram was followed up in six children with early puberty and ten young girls with backward puberty. These repeated examinations contribute to the diagnosis and help in the differential diagnosis. Whenever it is necessary to investigate a child' sex hormones the urocytogram, simple painless method is indicated.
