Precocious puberty due to human chorionic gonadotropin secreting germinoma.

This study aims to report a rare case of precocious puberty (PP) due to a human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)-producing germinoma located in the suprasellar region. A 10-year-old male patient presented with sexual precocity, headache, drowsiness, loss of appetite, and papilledema. Significant acceleration of bone age in relation to chronological age, high serum total testosterone levels, and hypopituitarism (unresponsiveness to stimulation test) were observed.
