This study observed that fibrosis occurs in the bulge region of hair follicles affected by androgenetic alopecia and is correlated with the hair miniaturization process.

This case report presents a 60-year-old woman with virilization and elevated adrenal androgens, where a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy confirmed ovarian steroid cell tumor NOS, and her symptoms resolved post-operatively.

This report describes a clinical case of a 38-year-old man diagnosed with Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome, confirmed by genetic testing, highlighting the presentation of multiple renal tumors and bilateral lung cysts.

This study found that tamsulosin, finasteride use, and aging are significantly associated with increased risk of intraoperative floppy iris syndrome during cataract surgery, while doxazosin does not appear to pose this risk.

This study found that hirsutism is more prevalent in Chinese women with PCOS compared to the general population, and the Ferriman-Gallwey score is a good predictor for diagnosing PCOS in this group.

This article discusses hirsutism, a condition causing excessive hair growth in women, and offers no new clinical results.

This study examined a case of postmenopausal virilization in a woman and found that despite normal imaging, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy revealed rare ovarian Leydig cell and Brenner tumors as the source of hyperandrogenism, with symptoms resolving post-surgery.

This review discusses the challenges of managing intraoperative floppy iris syndrome during cataract surgery and highlights the importance of preoperative risk assessment and multidisciplinary collaboration, reporting no new clinical results.

Finasteride reduces bleeding risk during prostate surgery.

In this case study, a 62-year-old woman with ovarian hyperthecosis experienced normalization of elevated testosterone levels and improvement in hirsutism and hair loss following bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.

This review discusses the causes and treatments of hirsutism, emphasizing identifying potentially life-threatening pathologies, but 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.

Finasteride use may be linked to rare testicular tumor, but more research needed.

This review discusses the management of hirsutism, highlighting the use of oral contraceptives for PCOS-related hirsutism and hair removal methods for idiopathic cases, but reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a young woman with an adrenal oncocytic tumor of uncertain malignant potential, highlighting the need for ongoing surveillance due to possible malignancy.

This case report from a German study detailed a 2-year-old girl with virilization and precocious puberty due to a rare ovarian steroid cell tumor, finding that post-surgery, her elevated hormone levels normalized within a week, and ongoing follow-up showed no need for chemotherapy.

In this study, researchers reported two cases of the rare and benign follicular tumor called panfolliculoma, highlighting its differentiation across all hair follicle components, which is distinct from similar conditions like trichofolliculoma.

In this case report, a 66-year-old postmenopausal woman with hyperandrogenism and alopecia underwent bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, which revealed rare synchronous ovarian tumors causing virilization, highlighting the importance of surgical exploration despite normal imaging.

This study presents two adolescent cases of ovarian hyperthecosis, a rare cause of severe hyperandrogenism, highlighting management strategies involving gonadotropin suppression and hormone replacement after excluding androgen-producing adrenal and ovarian tumors.

This report describes a complex case of postmenopausal hyperandrogenism with virilization and concurrent rare ovarian tumors, highlighting the critical role of interdisciplinary collaboration in diagnosing and managing such challenging scenarios.

This study found that current use of benzodiazepines, α1-blockers (like tamsulosin, alfuzosin, terazosin), finasteride, and possibly rivastigmine is associated with increased risk of intraoperative floppy iris syndrome in cataract surgery patients.

This study found that GnRH agonist treatment improved hirsutism scores more than finasteride after six months in women with idiopathic hirsutism, with both treatments causing no menstrual abnormalities or side-effects.

In this study, preoperative use of finasteride was associated with reduced blood loss and vascular endothelial growth factor expression during TURP, suggesting a potential benefit in preventing transurethral resection syndrome.

This study found that surgical removal of adrenal glands resolved clinical signs of adrenocortical tumors and hyperplasias in ferrets, but cortisol levels were not excessively high.

This case report involved a premenopausal woman with rapidly progressing virilizing symptoms caused by a rare sertoliform endometrioid carcinoma of the ovary. Following surgical intervention, her symptoms improved, highlighting the importance of recognizing virilizing symptoms as potential indicators of low-grade ovarian malignancies in similar cases.

This study discovered that TTR is expressed in the human placenta as early as 6 weeks gestation, with increased levels in the first trimester potentially facilitating thyroid hormone delivery to the fetus.

In this case report, a 55-year-old postmenopausal woman was diagnosed with ovarian hyperthecosis as the cause of her hyperandrogenism after detailed hormonal and imaging investigations, which was successfully treated with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, leading to symptom improvement and normalized testosterone levels.

This review highlights that trichofolliculomas can resemble certain skin cancers, emphasizing the importance of recognizing their clinical features to avoid unnecessary surgery; it reports no new clinical results.

Both LNG-IUD and systemic progestins are effective for fertility-sparing treatment, but close monitoring is needed due to recurrence risk.
