Abstract
The article is devoted to an interesting clinical case - hamartoma of the gray tubercle of the hypothalamus in a 7-year-old child with clinical signs of premature sexual development. Congenital hypothalamic hamartomas are extremely rare in practice: about 1 case per 200 thousand live-born children. This is a congenital non-tumor heterotopia, which is located on the wall or bottom of the III ventricle of the brain, manifested by seizures of epilepsy, impaired intelligence and behavior, signs of premature puberty.
