Objectives: We intend to describe a case of McCune-Albright Syndrome (MAS), a rare disease characterized by fibrous dysplasia (FD), cutaneous hyperpigmentation and hyperfunctioning endocrinopathies (HFE).
Case Presentation: We report the case of a 13-year-old male child who presented with a macule in the lumbosacral region and disabling polyostotic FD, requiring several surgical interventions and bisphosphonates from the age of 3 years (Y) + 9 months (M) due to persistent and severe pain. Hyperthyroidism (HT) became apparent at 5 Y + 1 M with a T3/T4 ratio greater than 20. Treatment with anti-thyroid drugs (ATD) was carried out for 7 Y and there was a progressive improvement in pain complaints 8 M after starting ATD, allowing treatment with pamidronate to be discontinued. Total thyroidectomy was performed at 12 Y + 5 M.
Conclusions: This is a case of MAS-associated HT that reflects the deleterious effect of thyroid hormone excess on FD, reinforcing the need of having a low threshold for suspicion of HFE that may arise.

Aim: This study aimed to summarize and show the characteristics and evolutionary process of neonatal cholestasis caused by McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS), as neonatal cholestasis may be the initial manifestation of MAS before other classic clinical features appear.
Methods: The clinical characteristics, treatment methods, and outcomes of three neonatal cholestasis cases caused by MAS in our center were retrospectively studied. In addition, all the reported cases of MAS combined with cholestasis were reviewed and summarized to show the cholestatic features in them.

Background: Café-au-lait skin macules, Cushing syndrome (CS), hyperthyroidism, and liver and cardiac dysfunction are presenting features of neonatal McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS), CS being the rarest endocrine feature. Although spontaneous resolution of hypercortisolism has been reported, outcome is usually unfavorable. While a unified approach to diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up is lacking, herein successful treatment and long-term follow-up of a rare case is presented.
