Turner's syndrome(TS) affects approximately 1 out of every 2000 female live births, and is determined by the partial or complete loss of an X chromosome. Short stature in pediatric stage, and primary amenorrhea, at puberty, are the most frequent clinical features observed. We present a case of a16-year-oldpatientwith TS diagnosed with acromegaly during her follow-up.
