    Glossary Androgen-Secreting Tumors

    abnormal growths producing excess male hormones like testosterone

    Androgen-Secreting Tumors, also known as Androgen-Producing Tumors, are abnormal growths that produce excessive amounts of androgens, which are male sex hormones like testosterone. These tumors can occur in the adrenal glands, ovaries, or testes and may lead to symptoms such as hirsutism (excessive hair growth), acne, and virilization (development of male characteristics) in women. Early detection and treatment are crucial to manage hormone levels and mitigate associated health issues.
