In this case study, a 68-year-old woman with hyperandrogenism and presumed ovarian origin responded well to GnRH agonist therapy, normalizing testosterone levels and stabilizing blood pressure, suggesting its effectiveness as a non-surgical treatment option.

In this case report, the coexistence of hypercalcemia and androgen excess in a postmenopausal woman was linked to primary hyperparathyroidism and a suspected androgen-secreting ovarian tumor, underscoring the need for a comprehensive diagnostic approach to identify overlapping endocrine disorders.

In this case report, a 62-year-old woman with hyperandrogenism and polycythemia was diagnosed with a rare ovarian steroid cell tumor, highlighting the importance of considering such tumors in similar presentations; surgical removal led to symptom and lab normalization.

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.

This case report describes a challenging diagnosis of Cushing’s syndrome using endocrine tests and imaging, which ultimately identified an adrenal etiology. Successful treatment involved a non-invasive desmopressin stimulation test and right adrenalectomy, leading to improvement in symptoms and health outcomes for the patient.

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.

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 report highlights the importance of timely biochemical and radiographic evaluation of adrenal masses, as illustrated by a rapidly progressing aggressive adrenal cortical carcinoma.

This case study describes a 28-year-old woman with ACTH-independent Cushing's syndrome due to an adrenal adenoma, whose symptoms improved significantly after unilateral adrenalectomy.

This study reported that testosterone levels over 150 ng/dL combined with lack of testosterone suppression during a low-dose dexamethasone suppression test may indicate androgen-producing tumors, though this wasn't consistent across all cases.

In this case report, a 48-year-old woman's hyperandrogenism, presenting with symptoms like acne and hirsutism, was attributed to a benign Leydig cell tumor, which resolved after surgical removal.

This study found that the severity of female pattern hair loss in premenopausal women was associated with clinical signs of hyperandrogenism, such as hirsutism and acne, but not with biochemical parameters.

This study observes the expression of mRNA for androgen receptor, 5α‐reductase, and 17β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in human dermal papilla cells.

This review examines the skin exposome, including solar exposure, air pollution, hormones, nutrition, and psychological factors, but reports no new clinical results.

AGA is a common hair loss disorder, and early diagnosis and treatment with minoxidil or finasteride can help reduce emotional distress.

Hormones, especially androgens, play a key role in causing acne, and treatments like hormone control pills and hormone-blocking medications can help.

This review discusses the use of anabolic-androgenic steroids in sports and outlines current methods for detecting urinary steroid doping, particularly testosterone, but reports no new experimental findings.

This article discusses the ongoing care needs for individuals with 21-hydroxylase deficiency due to mutations in the CYP21A2 gene but does not present new clinical findings.

This article discusses the complexities of androgen and antiandrogen therapies in women, detailing diagnostic measures, the effects on libido, and the potential benefits of new progestins with antiandrogenic properties, but presents no new empirical findings.

This study found that castration-resistant prostate cancers resistant to CYP17A1 inhibitors may still depend on steroids and could respond to therapies targeting de novo intratumoral steroid synthesis.

This study reported higher dihydrotestosterone and testosterone levels in balding Korean and Caucasian subjects compared to non-balding controls, with variations suggesting racial differences in androgen metabolism.

This article reviews treatment strategies for polycystic ovary syndrome, specifically recommending letrozole for infertility, while also discussing lifestyle changes and other potential therapies, and reports no new research findings.

This review discusses recent data on the use of anabolic-androgenic steroids and other steroid compounds and reports no new clinical results.

This study reported that Ell-Cranell® alpha 0.025% solution significantly increased hair counts and diameter in Korean women with female pattern hair loss over an 8-month period, showing both efficacy and safety.

In this study, TENS of the T6 dermatome over a longer term was explored for its effects on weight, blood pressure, heart rate, and appetite-regulating hormones in obese subjects with moderate obstructive sleep apnea; however, results are not reported in the abstract.

This review discusses hormones that affect acne and highlights a statistically significant link between a low-glycemic-load diet and reduced acne activity, but reports no new experimental findings.

This review discusses the relationship between insulin regulation and hyperandrogenemia in polycystic ovary syndrome, suggesting potential benefits of insulin-lowering treatments for ovarian function but reporting no definitive results for hair-related symptoms.

Hormonal treatments are effective as a second-line option for moderate-to-severe acne in females, but should be used with caution due to health risks.

Acne is common in women, often hormone-related, negatively affects quality of life, and requires various treatments.

Doctors used a special blood sampling technique to diagnose a woman's rare ovarian tumor that was producing male hormones.
