Hello, early voice change in children, abnormal erections, and early appearance of facial hair are all abnormal. Examination revealed a lesion in the brain, which means a tumor. The nature of the tumor, whether it is malignant or benign, cannot be determined at this time. The cause of precocious puberty is this tumor.Advice: It is recommended to have surgery to remove the tumor at a children's hospital or the neurosurgery department of a general hospital. After surgery, if the pathological examination shows it to be benign, treatment will be sufficient. If it is malignant, the prognosis is poor.
