ABSTRACT
Delayed puberty associated with short stature can be due to a number of causes. A focused medical history, a directed physical examination and appropriate diagnostic tests are needed to diagnose the underlying cause. A case of an adolescent with delayed puberty and short stature is presented to highlight the diagnostic approach. The most common cause of delayed maturation in adolescents is constitutional delay of puberty, however other causes should also be considered. Treatment for disorders of puberty is determined by the underlying cause
