    growth producing excess male hormones, often causing hair and skin changes

    An Androgen-Secreting Tumor is a type of growth, often found in the adrenal glands or ovaries, that produces excessive amounts of androgens, which are male hormones like testosterone. This can lead to symptoms such as excessive hair growth (hirsutism), acne, and in women, irregular menstrual cycles or virilization (development of male characteristics). These tumors can be benign or malignant and require medical evaluation for appropriate treatment.
