Abstract
McCune Albright syndrome is associated with patchy cutaneous pigmentation(cafe au lait spots) and fibrous dysplasia of the skeletal system. It is associated with peripheral precocious puberty and can also cause pituitary, thyroid and adrenal aberrations. We are reporting a five year old child who presented with knock knees, multiple cafe au lait spots and his whole body skeletal survey revealed polyostotic fibrous dysplasia.
