ABSTRACT
We report a previously healthy child that consulted for the first time at the age of 11 years for short stature. At that moment, his height was 138 cm, with a mid-parental target height of 175 cm. He was in an initial pubertal stage with a Tanner II pubic hair and a testicular volume of 4 ml. Initial laboratory examination was normal and the child had a concordant bone age. He consulted again at 16 years of age, with a height of 162.4 cm (percentile 5 for age), a bone age of 18 years and a Tanner IV pubic hair, but the testicular volume persisted at 4 ml. A genetic study disclosed a 46 XX karyogram and a fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for chromosomes X and Y that showed a positive sex determining region Y (SRY) in X chromosome.
