In this case report, a 62-year-old postmenopausal woman with hyperandrogenism exhibited male-pattern alopecia and hirsutism, which improved after bilateral adrenal adenomas were removed, underscoring the need for investigation of androgen-producing tumors in similar cases.

This study found that finasteride treatment significantly reduced hirsutism and dihydrotestosterone levels in women with idiopathic hirsutism or polycystic ovary syndrome over six months.

This study highlights the global prevalence of hirsutism in women and reviews its diagnostic criteria, potential underlying causes like polycystic ovary syndrome, and treatment options, emphasizing the need for tailored, multifaceted management and acknowledging the distress it causes patients.

This case report describes a 48-year-old woman with a history of PCOS and chemotherapy-induced menopause who was found to have a rare ovarian steroid cell tumor causing postmenopausal hyperandrogenism.

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

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 report describes two cases of alopecia in neutered female ferrets linked to neoplastic tissue at the site of an ovarian pedicle, suggesting an ovarian origin for the tumors.

This case series observed that solitary fibrofolliculoma is a rare lesion that can affect the eyelids, requiring histological examination for accurate diagnosis due to its nonspecific clinical appearance.

The woman likely has a hormonal imbalance causing excessive hair growth.

This article lacks an abstract and reports no new findings.

This case report details the successful use of oral itraconazole in treating a giant tufted angioma with hair loss that developed during pregnancy, leading to significant symptom relief and hair regrowth after discontinuation of the medication.

Finasteride may cause breast enlargement, low testosterone a risk factor.

This case study reports that a 61-year-old woman with high testosterone levels due to stromal luteoma of the left ovary experienced rapid normalization of testosterone levels after surgical removal of the tumor.

This case study highlights the challenges of diagnosing hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women, reporting a patient with androgenic alopecia and high testosterone due to a benign Leydig cell tumor in the ovary; surgery successfully normalized testosterone levels.

This clinical study explores the causes, progression, and treatment of hirsutism in females, noting its association with tumors in endocrine glands, but does not report new clinical results.

Endometriosis significantly contributes to female infertility.

This case study reported that sudden hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women may indicate hormonally active ovarian tumors such as Leydig cell tumors, which can be effectively treated with surgery.

This case study found that a 1.6cm ovarian Leydig cell tumor, causing hyperandrogenism in a postmenopausal woman, evaded detection on standard imaging techniques, underscoring the difficulty of diagnosing such tumors with imaging alone.

This case report highlights the challenge of differentiating between non-classical adrenal hyperplasia and steroid cell tumors of the ovary in a patient presenting with hyperandrogenism.

Finasteride doesn't change polycystic ovary size or cyst number, suggesting testosterone's role in their appearance.

Hirsute women with ovarian-sourced hirsutism are more likely to have irregular periods, with higher BMI and altered hormone ratios.

This case report describes a 22-year-old woman with a nevoid plaque termed localized follicular hamartoma, characterized by skin-colored papules and specific cellular and structural features.

This study highlighted that Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors should be considered in young women with secondary amenorrhea and virilization, and fertility-preserving surgery can be effective when diagnosed early.

This case report describes a 72-year-old woman with a steroid cell tumor of the ovary, highlighting the critical role of imaging, biochemical evaluation, and pathology in diagnosing and managing hormonally active ovarian tumors that cause virilization in postmenopausal women.

This review discusses the causes and treatment options for idiopathic hirsutism and reports that various therapies may reduce hirsutism severity and the Ferriman–Gallwey score by 35–40% after one year.

This study highlights that hirsutism in women, most commonly caused by polycystic ovary syndrome, should be evaluated with tools like the Ferriman–Gallwey score and total testosterone measurements, and managed using methods like hair removal and combined oral contraceptives when fertility preservation is not a priority.

This case report underlines the importance of considering alternative diagnoses like ovarian steroid cell tumors in adolescent females with PCOS-like symptoms when standard treatments fail, highlighting the need for thorough evaluation and early intervention.

This study found that both finasteride and flutamide effectively reduced hirsutism in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, decreasing the Ferriman-Gallwey score and hair diameter without significant side effects.

This case report highlights that in postmenopausal women with severe hyperandrogenism, thorough adrenal and pelvic evaluations, hormonal profiling, and permanent pathology are essential for accurate diagnosis and management of androgen-secreting tumors, such as AGCTs, to prevent misdiagnosis and ensure effective treatment.

This study reports a case of an ovarian steroid cell tumor with malignant potential, presenting unusually with osteopenia and low weight instead of the expected virilizing symptoms.
