Drs. Costin and Kogut comment as follows: We were pleased to read Dr. Comas' letter in which he describes a 12-4/12-year-old girl whose clinical data suggest that she may be an example of the syndrome that we reported. The evidence for this was the occurrence of menstruation, pubic hair, and breast development when the patient was hypothyroid and disappearance of menstruation following treatment with thyroid hormone. It is not clear why Dr. Comas' patient had an increase in pubic hair and appearance of axillary hair following treatment at a time when her menstrual periods ceased; in all the reported female patients regression of the secondary sexual characteristics was noted following adequate therapy.
