[Precocious puberty and ovarian follicular cysts].

Ovarian follicular cysts have been detected by ultrasound in 2 to 8 years old girls with precocious puberty, central puberty (2 cases), transient precocity (1 case) or premature menarche (1 case). Complete regression of the cysts was either spontaneous (1 case) or due to suppressive therapy. The mechanisms of precocious puberty with follicular cysts, dependent or independent of gonadotropins, and their spontaneous evolution guide both the management and the therapy with LH-RH analogues and/or aromatase inhibitors.
