Popis:	Precocious puberty is the onset of puberty before the age of 8 years in girls and 9 years in boys. There is a global trend towards earlier onset of puberty. The prevalence is not known in Nigeria. Precocious puberty has implications such as inappropriate body appearance, psychological effects and decreased final height. This is a rare case report of a 3-year-old girl who presents with precocious puberty. Investigations did not reveal the cause. Investigations and treatment are expensive and a challenge in a poor resource setting. Early diagnosis and treatment are recommended to reduce the complications associated with it.
