A female chimpanzee developed premature sex skin swelling, breast budding, advanced bone age, and moderate estrogen effect of the vaginal cytology. Extensive radiographic and hormonal studies excluded all the known causes of precocious puberty and pseudopuberty, yielding a diagnosis of idiopathic true precocious puberty. To our knowledge this is the first observation of idiopathic true precocious puberty in a chimpanzee.
一只雌性黑猩猩出现了性皮肤过早肿胀、乳房发育、骨龄提前以及阴道细胞学检查显示中度雌激素效应。广泛的影像学和激素研究排除了所有已知的性早熟和假性性早熟原因，最终诊断为特发性真性性早熟。据我们所知，这是首次在黑猩猩身上观察到特发性真性性早熟。
