The criteria for its diagnosis were established in 1988. Its association with preccocius puberty, although it has been described, is considered as rare. A 3-year-old child with neurofibromatosis type I and precocious puberty is presented in this paper. Emphasis is made on the clinical manifestation and on the importance of the image studies to complete the diagnosis.
