    TLDR Early diagnosis and treatment with Leuprolide are key for children with precocious puberty.
    The document reports a case of precocious puberty in a 7.5-year-old girl who exhibited early signs of secondary sexual development, such as breast growth and changes in body odor, but no pubic hair growth or vaginal discharge. Laboratory tests revealed elevated fertility hormone levels and a bone age equivalent to a 10-year-old. The patient was treated with monthly Leuprolide therapy. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of a thorough history taking, including the chronological order of puberty milestones, family history, and other factors, along with physical examinations and tests like bone age determination and hormone levels, to diagnose precocious puberty. It also notes that early diagnosis is crucial for a good prognosis and that Leuprolide is indicated for patients with central precocious puberty who have advanced bone age at initial evaluation.
