title: McCune-Albright syndrome with gigantism and hyperprolactinemia.
abstract: We describe the case of a 38-year-old man with typical Mc Cune-Albright syndrome and the unusual combination of both growth-hormone and prolactin hypersecretion. The patient was extremely tall, which is unusual in Mc Cune-Albright syndrome, suggesting that he did not have precocious fusion of the epiphysis, a common finding in this syndrome. Unfortunately the patient refused any treatment for his disease. A similar case has been previously described only in a 14-year-old boy.
