This case report describes a postmenopausal woman with virilization linked to ovarian stromal hyperthecosis, highlighting the importance of detailed clinical evaluation and complementary testing for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

This article reviews the causes and treatments of hypertrichosis and hirsutism and reports no new clinical findings; the authors compare diagnostic strategies and discuss available treatment options.

This case study reports that a virilizing Leydig cell type ovarian tumor in a 40-year-old woman caused hyperandrogenism and virilization symptoms, which improved post-surgery.

This case report describes a postmenopausal woman with androgenic alopecia and progressive hirsutism who, despite normal imaging, had significantly elevated testosterone due to a Leydig cell tumor, revealed after surgical exploration; the condition improved post-surgery, underscoring the importance of considering such tumors in similar presentations.

This case study reports a 60-year-old woman's clinical findings related to hypothyroidism and elevated prolactin levels but does not present new research results.

This report describes a 23-year-old male with Clouston’s syndrome, characterized by nail abnormalities, palmoplantar skin thickening, anodontia, and androgenic alopecia, highlighting the need for supportive management due to the lack of a definitive treatment.

This study found that women with nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (NC-CAH) reported lower sexual function and higher sexual distress compared to those with classic CAH (C-CAH), particularly among those showing signs of androgen excess.

This case report describes a middle-aged man with a growing scrotal mass, diagnosed as a benign proliferating trichilemmal tumor, which can mimic squamous cell carcinoma, highlighting the importance of correct diagnosis.

This review discusses various forms and categories of hypertrichosis, as well as methods for managing the condition, but does not report new clinical results.

In this case report, researchers described a postmenopausal woman with virilization symptoms who was diagnosed with a Leydig cell tumor in her ovary, and symptoms improved following tumor removal. The authors highlighted the diagnostic challenge of differentiating such cases from age-related hormonal changes.

This study observed that women with cicatricial hair loss had an increased risk of hypertension, which may share overlapping biological origins.

This retrospective study found that serum hormone levels and MRI detection of ovarian nodules contributed to distinguishing virilizing ovarian tumors from ovarian stromal hyperthecosis in postmenopausal women, though histopathology remains crucial for diagnosis.

This case study reported that a 51-year-old woman with hirsutism and voice thickening had a Leydig cell tumor detected by PET-CT, which normalized hormone levels and resolved symptoms after surgical removal.

This article discusses hyperandrogenism, including its symptoms, causes, and diagnostic approaches, and reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes the role of interdisciplinary care in treatment.

This study examined medical comorbidities and medications among women with vulvar lichen sclerosus, contributing insights for comprehensive treatment strategies, but does not report new clinical results.

This study suggested that pubic hair transplantation surgery can effectively address feelings of inferiority in patients with pubic atrichosis or hypotrichosis, achieving a mean graft survival rate of 73.6%.

This study observed that the size of vaginal prolapse in patients was significantly related to both the preoperative vaginal length and the length of vaginal excision during the Michigan four-wall sacrospinous suspension procedure.

This case study reported hyperandrogenism in non-obese triplet sisters with one sister's hyperthyroidism masking its clinical and biochemical signs until treatment increased her androgen levels and hirsutism.

This review suggests that dihydrotestosterone pretreatment may improve cosmetic outcomes in hypospadias repair, but more randomized trials are needed to determine its effectiveness due to currently limited evidence.

In this case report, a 71-year-old woman with severe hyperandrogenism and virilization revealed a bilateral ovarian steroid cell tumor, confirmed after adnexectomy, resulting in normalized testosterone levels and improved hirsutism post-surgery.

This study found no significant relationship between hormone levels and sexual function in young women with hirsutism compared to a control group.

This study found that polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common cause of cutaneous manifestations of hyperandrogenism in women of reproductive age, with hirsutism severity correlated to serum testosterone levels.

This review highlights that idiopathic hirsutism is characterized by local hyperandrogenization affecting hair growth, without other signs of hyperandrogenism, and shows no new results; racial differences in prevalence are noted but not in androgenic steroids.

This descriptive longitudinal study conducted in a Kolkata hospital found that intense pulsed light treatment significantly improved hirsutism in patients, as evaluated by trichoscopy and visual analog scores, demonstrating its effectiveness and safety for hair removal, independent of medical treatment.

This case series observed that ovarian hyperthecosis can manifest with hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance in postmenopausal women, even when serum testosterone levels are below diagnostic thresholds, suggesting potential gaps in current diagnostic criteria.

This study found that young women with nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia had impaired sexual function and mild depressive symptoms compared to healthy women.

This case study reports an Asian female with congenital adrenal hyperplasia presenting atypically with polymenorrhagia, who showed improvement with oral dexamethasone, despite no change in hirsutism or clitoromegaly.

This study describes a postmenopausal woman's diagnosis with ovarian hyperthecosis, confirmed by a GnRHa test normalizing testosterone, highlighting hormone therapy as a therapeutic option when surgery is not feasible.

This report describes an unusual case of proliferating trichilemmal cyst with trichoepitheliomatous change in a young woman, differing from its typical presentation in elderly women.
