Introduction: McCune–Albright Syndrome (MAS) is a rare congenital sporadic disorder characterized by fibrous bone dysplasia, café-au-lait pigmented spots on the skin, and non-gonadotropin dependent precocious puberty (PP), which is caused by a postzygotic somatic activating mutation in the GNAS gene encoding the alpha subunit of Gs protein. In our case study, we recorded a girl with the onset of MAS and treated her with Chinese medicinal herbs combined with megestrol acetate. We aim to provide a method for the treatment of children with this rare form of precocious puberty. Case Presention: A 4-year-old girl presented with vaginal bleeding and enlarged breasts. The activating mutation of GNAS was not detected in the patient’s peripheral blood samples, as some had reported. Because of peripheral PP and fibrous dysplasia of the diagnosed bone, the patient was considered as MAS. We chose the Chinese medicinal herbs combined with megestrol acetate for treatment, and the patient was effectively treated. Conclusion: The combination therapy of Chinese medicinal herbs plus megestrol acetate in managing PP in an MAS is one of the useful treatments.
