This study evaluated 23 cases of MRKH syndrome undergoing neo-vaginal reconstruction using islanded pudendal thigh flaps, finding a 100% flap survival and patency rate, along with satisfactory functional and aesthetic outcomes despite minor issues like hair growth in some patients.

A 73-year-old woman's unusual hair loss and growth led to the discovery of a rare condition causing too much testosterone, which improved after her ovaries were removed.

This review discusses the clinical evaluation and investigation needed for hirsute women, suggesting that most cases require minimal testing unless virilism or severe symptoms are present; no new clinical results are provided.

This study found that among patients with sex cord stromal ovarian tumors, 11% exhibited signs of virilization, requiring thorough clinical evaluation to rule out non-neoplastic causes.

This case report highlights the importance of considering exogenous androgen exposure, such as transdermal testosterone cream used by a partner, in the diagnosis of virilization among women.

This study concluded that erosive lichen sclerosus is a distinct subtype marked by red patches on hairless skin, while ulcerated lichen sclerosus typically results from trauma in uncontrolled dermatosis.

A postmenopausal woman's virilization was caused by a rare ovarian tumor that was hard to detect but was successfully treated with surgery.

This case report describes a patient with Clouston's syndrome and alopecia who responded positively to topical treatment with minoxidil and tretinoin.

In this case study, a postmenopausal woman with symptoms of virilization was diagnosed with a rare ovarian Leydig cell tumor, and surgical removal led to a resolution of her hyperandrogenism and related symptoms, highlighting the importance of thorough differential diagnosis in postmenopausal hyperandrogenism.

This case report details a diagnostic challenge in a postmenopausal woman with severe hyperandrogenism where distinguishing between adrenal and ovarian causes was complicated by elevated 17-OH Progesterone and asymmetric ovarian enlargement; pending surgical pathology is expected to guide further management.

This case study reports that hormonal imbalances in a young boy with precocious pseudopuberty returned to normal after the removal of a testicular interstitial cell tumor, with normal spontaneous puberty following.

In this case study, researchers reported a 61-year-old postmenopausal woman with virilizing symptoms like hirsutism and voice deepening was found to have an androgen-secreting adrenal tumor, emphasizing the importance of considering this diagnosis in similar cases.

In this study, idiopathic hirsutism was identified as the most common cause of hirsutism among the participants, with a significant difference in hormone levels between cases of polycystic ovarian syndrome and idiopathic hirsutism.

This study found that areola formation in mice requires a combination of pregnancy hormones and mechanical strain, with individual stimuli causing only modest changes in epidermal proliferation and connective tissue remodeling.

This review examines the causes, assessment, and treatment options for hirsutism but presents no new clinical findings, highlighting the need for further research on managing this condition.

This study observed that a longer anterior clitoral anogenital distance (AGDAC) is associated with polycystic ovary syndrome in adult Mediterranean women.

This study found that among HIV-infected women, central lipohypertrophy was associated with shorter eyelashes but not changes in scalp hair texture or inflammation.

This case report highlights a rare diagnosis of an androgen-secreting adrenal tumor in a patient with hyperandrogenism and virilization symptoms, emphasizing the role of gynecologists in early detection.

This study concludes that tiny infundibular cysts, rather than comedones, are the primary lesions in chloracne.

This letter to the editor references a study on using dihydrotestosterone gel before hypospadias surgery but itself contains no new findings.

This study found that children with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia had elevated epicardial fat thickness, which was associated with increased carotid intima media thickness, left ventricular mass, and mitral deceleration time.

In this study, females with hirsutism showed higher levels of certain androgens and reported more frequent symptoms such as infertility and increased skin greasiness compared to those without hirsutism.

This study observed that young women with androgenic alopecia had increased carotid intima-media thickness, suggesting a higher susceptibility to atherosclerosis compared to healthy controls.

This review discusses the characteristics, diagnostic challenges, and management options for postmenopausal hyperandrogenism but reports no new clinical results; it highlights the importance of distinguishing potential androgen-producing tumors or hyperandrogenic disorders.

This case report describes a 48-year-old male with severe, itchy hypertrophic lichen planus who showed a 90% improvement in lesions following 4 months of treatment with oral acitretin, with no recurrence 6 months posttreatment.

This article reviews idiopathic hirsutism, focusing on its definition, diagnosis, causes, and treatment options, without presenting new clinical findings.

In this case study, a 68-year-old woman was diagnosed with central diabetes insipidus and hypothalamic hypopituitarism due to a Rathke's cleft cyst.

Pulsed dye laser and hydrogel dressings effectively treat hypertrophic scars.

This case study identified the condition as Monilethrix in a 17-year-old female, characterized by a beaded hair appearance and linked to a genetic cause.
