In this study, bilateral oophorectomy was reported as an effective treatment for normalizing androgen levels and resolving hypersexuality and related symptoms in a post-menopausal woman with ovarian hyperthecosis, suggesting its importance in addressing excess androgen production in such cases.

This case report describes an 80-year-old woman with severe androgenic alopecia linked to Leydig cell hyperplasia in an ovarian cyst, highlighting the need to investigate androgen-secreting tumors in similar cases.

This case study reported on a 62-year-old woman with ovarian hyperthecosis, which caused symptoms like hirsutism and elevated testosterone; after bilateral oophorectomy, her symptoms improved, suggesting the importance of considering this rare condition in hyperandrogenism diagnosis for postmenopausal women.

This study concluded that prepubertal girls with hypertrichosis have androgen receptors with enhanced sensitivity, which may contribute to their increased body hair growth.

This study described a Scottish family with hidrotic ectodermal dysplasia featuring variable symptoms such as hypo/oligodontia, thin hair, and heat tolerance, and concluded they exhibited overlapping traits with Clouston syndrome.

This report discusses the characteristics of circle hairs, a type of body hair growth disorder, and emphasizes the value of trichoscopy for diagnosis.

In this study, researchers used a hypospadiac rat model to demonstrate abnormal genital development, similar to human penoscrotal hypospadias, highlighting the model's value for studying penile growth and differentiation.

This case report describes a 51-year-old male who developed localized hair growth exclusively at sites of repeated cupping therapy on the neck and shoulder, suggesting a possible link between long-term cupping and localized acquired hypertrichosis.

This article discusses the importance of routine karyotyping in patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia, as it may reveal the presence of Turner syndrome and recommends early diagnosis and treatment; it reports no new clinical results.

This case study reports a rare instance of mucinous cystadenoma causing severe virilization in a postmenopausal woman, highlighting a possible link with rapidly progressive hyperandrogenism.

This study found that eccrine duct dilation is significantly more frequent in cicatricial alopecias compared to noncicatricial alopecias, possibly due to the scarring process.

This case study in a 62-year-old postmenopausal woman highlights Leydig cell hyperplasia as a likely cause of hyperandrogenism of ovarian origin, where bilateral oophorectomy resolved the condition and confirmed the diagnosis through histopathological examination.

Hirsutism is abnormal male-pattern hair growth in females due to excess androgens.

This review describes the surgical and nonsurgical genital rejuvenation options for addressing hair, morphology, and vascular changes, noting increased interest but providing no new clinical findings.

This study found that Sonic Hedgehog protein treatment enhanced the sprouting and regeneration of pelvic ganglia and cavernous nerves after injury, with localization of delivery affecting outcomes.

A postmenopausal woman's masculine symptoms improved after surgery for a hormone-producing ovarian tumor.

This review discusses the occurrence of hair tourniquets in children and adolescents, reporting no new clinical results but highlighting case variations by age and affected body part.

This article discusses solitary hirsutism, emphasizing that treatment is mostly cosmetic unless contraception is also desired, and reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a 15-year-old Japanese girl with juvenile hypothyroidism who developed hypertrichosis and hyperkeratosis due to a keratin plug inhibiting hair growth on her back and arms.

This article discusses evaluation and treatment options for a 19-year-old woman with slowly progressive hair growth and reports no new clinical findings.

This case study describes two postmenopausal women with severe androgen excess symptoms, diagnosed with ovarian hyperthecosis and stromal hyperplasia, emphasizing the challenges in differentiating these benign conditions from androgen-secreting tumors and the importance of surgical and histopathological evaluation for correct diagnosis and management.

This article reports two cases where ovarian hyperthecosis caused hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women, confirmed by imaging and resolved after bilateral oophorectomy.

This case report details a postmenopausal woman whose hyperandrogenism was attributed to ovarian stromal hyperplasia, ultimately resolved with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.

This case report illustrates that Leydig cell tumors, despite causing significantly elevated androgen levels, can be difficult to localize due to their small size, as demonstrated in a 42-year-old woman whose tumor was only identified after oophorectomy.

This case report described a 62-year-old postmenopausal woman with hirsutism whose symptoms improved after a hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy, revealing bilateral ovarian hyperthecosis.

This study found that girls with prepubertal simple hypertrichosis had significantly higher plasma levels of dihydrotestosterone compared to controls, which does not align with other androgen markers and warrants further investigation.

This case report describes how a 68-year-old woman's hyperandrogenic symptoms improved and testosterone levels normalized after the surgical removal of an occult Leydig cell tumour.

This case report details a 2-year-old girl who developed hypertrichosis on areas of her skin affected by multiple insect bites and subsequent scratching, resulting in unusual hair growth.

In this case report, a patient with pseudovaginal perineoscrotal hypospadias due to 5α-reductase deficiency presented gender dysphoria, and after genomic sequencing confirmation, injectable testosterone undecanoate treatment successfully developed desired male secondary sexual characteristics.

This case report describes a unique instance where elevated prolactin levels from a pituitary adenoma were associated with hirsutism due to increased dihydrotestosterone, with treatment leading to normalization.
