Ltzl, Letrozole; Anzl, Anastrozole; mg, milligram; mo, months; y, years; Ht, height; sd, standard deviation; OnA, during time on anastrozole; OnL, during time on letrozole; R, right side; L, left side; cm, centimeters; mL, milliliters; US, ultrasound.
For patient 1, bone age data collected after 11 months of follow up; no data available from 17 month follow up visit.
For patients 3 and 4, change in testicular size is only evaluated from start of therapy until the last visit before onset of central puberty (36 months on treatment for patient 3 and 17 months for patient 4). Following onset of central puberty, both patients progressed to 25 mL testes bilaterally by physical exam.
