This study describes the case of a Filipino woman with virilisation, where a rare ovarian Leydig cell tumour was identified and removed, normalizing her testosterone levels.

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 study hypothesizes that the sulfonamide group in tamsulosin might contribute to its association with intraoperative floppy iris syndrome.

This case study reports that a 16-year-old girl with hirsutism and menstrual irregularities was diagnosed with a benign steroid cell ovarian tumor, after high testosterone levels indicated a potential androgen-secreting source.

This study reported a rare case of ovarian steroid cell tumor removal resulting in normalized hormone levels, resumption of menstruation, and subsequent spontaneous pregnancy in a 31-year-old woman.

Among postmenopausal women, this case study observed that a rare ovarian tumor called thecoma, found via MRI, was associated with high testosterone levels and symptoms of mild virilization such as hirsutism, indicating surgery as the primary treatment.

This case report highlights a rare instance of postmenopausal virilization in a 71-year-old woman due to coexisting ovarian hilus cell hyperplasia and a Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor.

This case report describes three instances where occult ovarian Leydig cell tumors were suspected based on severe hyperandrogenism symptoms, despite negative imaging findings, highlighting that elevated testosterone levels are a crucial diagnostic marker.

This study found that 13% of women who underwent ultrasound imaging showed suggestive signs of polycystic ovaries, but ultrasound findings alone are insufficient to diagnose polycystic ovary syndrome.

This case report describes a 23-year-old woman with an adult granulosa cell tumor of the ovary, whose symptoms and hormone levels improved significantly after surgical removal of the tumor.

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.

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

This case report describes the presence of a teratoma within an equine antral follicle and suggests that the ovary maintained functionality despite the teratoma, as indicated by active antral follicles and recent ovulation.

This case report describes a 58-year-old woman whose virilization symptoms were linked to a steroid tumor of the ovary, emphasizing the importance of prompt diagnosis and treatment to improve her quality of life.

This case report describes a solitary nasal fibrofolliculoma in a 60-year-old male and reviews existing literature, indicating its rare occurrence and potential link with Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome.

This review discusses the causes and treatments of hirsutism in women and reports no clinical results; it emphasizes the importance of identifying androgen-secreting tumors that require distinct therapy.

This study reports that in a case of benign Brenner tumor, elevated androgens may originate from luteinized stromal cells, as these cells do not convert androgen to estrogen due to suppressed aromatase biosynthesis.

This study highlights a rare case of ovarian hyperthecosis in a 58-year-old postmenopausal woman, presenting with polycythemia and severe hyperandrogenism symptoms, with resolution of symptoms following laparoscopic bilateral oophorectomy.

This case report describes a rare instance of a Leydig cell tumor in a 35-year-old pregnant woman, discovered incidentally during a cesarean section. The tumor typically presents with symptoms of excess androgen, though it can range from asymptomatic to rapid virilization.

This case study discussed a postmenopausal female with androgenic alopecia and hirsutism due to a Leydig cell tumor, suggesting the importance of further workup in women with severe hirsutism or androgenic alopecia.

This study documented a case of a 57-year-old woman with postmenopausal virilism due to a Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor, which improved after surgical treatment.

This study found that both finasteride and flutamide significantly decreased hirsutism severity and hair diameter in women with PCOS and Idiopathic Hirsutism, with abdominal hairs showing greater sensitivity to the treatments.

In this case report, the researchers described a postmenopausal woman with androgenic symptoms who was found to have a benign Leydig cell tumor of the left ovary, indicated by elevated testosterone levels and MRI findings, which was successfully treated with surgery.

This case report highlights the need to assess postmenopausal women with hirsutism for hyperandrogenism causes, as exemplified by a Leydig cell tumor coinciding with primary hyperparathyroidism.

This case report describes a 47-year-old woman diagnosed with a rare Sertoliform endometrioid carcinoma of the ovary, emphasizing its early-stage presentation and generally favorable prognosis.

This case study reports the first Palestinian case of an ovarian steroid cell tumor with virilization in a young female, highlighting the challenges in diagnosis and varied chemotherapeutic responses.

This narrative review discusses various causes and treatments of hirsutism in women, emphasizing the importance of identifying androgen-secreting tumors, but does not present new study results.

In this case series, the authors reported that postmenopausal hyperandrogenism should be carefully evaluated to diagnose potential androgen-secreting tumors, with Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors identified as a common cause.

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 describes a woman with hyperandrogenism and menstrual disturbances, where an ovarian steroid cell tumor was identified and removed, leading to resolution of symptoms.
