This case report highlights the potential benefits of unilateral adrenalectomy in treating primary bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia, noting a high rate of remission and low risk of recurrence.

In this study, distinct androgen excess subtypes were identified in women with PCOS, with the adrenal androgen excess cluster showing significantly higher rates of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, suggesting 11-oxygenated androgens as potential drivers of metabolic risk.

In this case report, a shift from Hashimoto's thyroiditis to Graves' disease was observed in a 62-year-old woman, highlighting the rare transformation from hypothyroidism to hyperthyroidism over 20 years, possibly due to changes in antibody activity, according to the researchers.

In this case report, a post-menopausal woman with symptoms such as hirsutism and elevated testosterone underwent surgery, which revealed hormonally active ovarian cellular fibromas, leading to symptom resolution and normalized hormone levels; the authors suggest further exploration of these tumors' hormonal effects.

This case report describes a rare instance of hyperandrogenism and increased hirsutism associated with endometrial cancer in a postmenopausal woman, with symptoms resolving and androgen levels normalizing after a total laparoscopic abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy.

In this study, estetrol (E4) treatment was associated with increased hair growth in ex vivo human hair follicles, suggesting its potential as a treatment for hair loss disorders.

This case report details a 73-year-old woman with significant hirsutism and hair loss linked to a rare ovarian Leydig cell tumor, which was resolved by bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, normalizing her testosterone levels and addressing her symptoms.

This case report describes ALP elevation in a patient with severe OA that normalized after bilateral knee replacements, highlighting a potential link between OA and ALP levels.

This case report highlights a rare ovarian steroid cell tumor as the cause of androgen excess in a 36-year-old woman and underscores the importance of thorough preoperative workup to avoid unnecessary surgery.

This case report describes a patient with ectopic Cushing's syndrome who experienced fatal complications from COVID-19, highlighting the challenges in managing such patients due to immune response alterations from endogenous hypercortisolemia.

This case study suggests that long-term treatment with buprenorphine/naloxone for opioid addiction may lead to secondary adrenal insufficiency, warranting further investigation.

In this case study, a woman with high 25(OH)D levels and persistent symptoms showed decreased parathormone after transdermal estrogen therapy, highlighting the importance of assessing both parathormone and estrogen levels in similar patients.

This case report describes a rare instance of virilizing androgen production due to an ovarian serous cystadenoma in a 59-year-old woman, with testosterone levels normalizing after its removal.

This clinical case report identifies xanthomatous hypophysitis in a male patient, highlighting the mismatch between clinical symptoms and MRI findings, which led to a pituitary biopsy and accurate diagnosis instead of unnecessary surgery.

This case report highlights the diagnostic challenge of identifying androgen-secreting ovarian Leydig cell tumors in postmenopausal women when imaging fails to reveal masses, emphasizing the usefulness of ovarian vein sampling for localization.

This case report describes a 23-year-old woman with an adult granulosa cell tumor of the ovary, whose symptoms and hormone levels improved significantly after surgical removal of the tumor.

This case study reports that in an 8-year-old male, a pituitary adenoma causing isolated high LH secretion led to early testosterone-driven puberty without typical testicular enlargement, highlighting the differential roles of LH and FSH in pubertal development.

This case study reports a rare instance of an estradiol-secreting adrenocortical carcinoma in a 58-year-old male, causing feminization and Marie-Antoinette syndrome, with potential paraneoplastic aortitis.

This case study suggests that genetic susceptibility to PCOS and rare syndromes, such as Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome Type 1, should be considered in young men with unexplained hyperandrogenism.

This case study reports a rare instance of a virilizing androgen-only secreting adrenal cortical adenoma in a 13-year-old, with symptom resolution after surgical removal.

This case report highlights a novel NR5A1 gene variant associated with a severe 46,XY disorder of sex development, stressing the importance of genetic screening in similar cases.

This case study found that a 1.6cm ovarian Leydig cell tumor, causing hyperandrogenism in a postmenopausal woman, evaded detection on standard imaging techniques, underscoring the difficulty of diagnosing such tumors with imaging alone.

This case study highlighted that excessive iodide intake from the supplement TauriNac was associated with the development of hypothyroidism in a cystic fibrosis patient, which reversed upon discontinuation.

This case report suggests that genetic evaluation for glucocorticoid resistance, such as the NR3C1 gene variant, is crucial for proper diagnosis and management of patients showing atypical signs of hypercortisolism.

This case study reports that immunotherapy with ipilimumab and nivolumab induced hypophysitis in a patient with renal cell carcinoma, emphasizing the need for careful monitoring of endocrine function in such treatments.

This review discusses recent advancements in mobile technology and artificial intelligence for dermatology, offering an overview of their current applications but reports no new clinical findings.

This case study reports a patient with ACTH-driven cortisol secretion 14 years after adrenalectomy, suggesting possible residual adrenal tissue or extra-adrenal steroid synthesis, challenging the need for lifelong steroid replacement.

This study found that estradiol transdermal patches helped many MTF patients achieve target estrogen levels, especially those who could not reach these levels with oral therapy and those at higher thrombotic risk.

This case report describes a 48-year-old woman with a history of PCOS and chemotherapy-induced menopause who was found to have a rare ovarian steroid cell tumor causing postmenopausal hyperandrogenism.

This case report describes a 47-year-old woman diagnosed with a rare Sertoliform endometrioid carcinoma of the ovary, emphasizing its early-stage presentation and generally favorable prognosis.
