This study found that GnRH-A treatment significantly reduced hirsuties scores in women with mild idiopathic hirsuties but did not affect hair growth rate or diameter.

This study suggests that insulin levels may influence ovarian volume in women with idiopathic hirsutism who have normal ovulatory cycles and androgen levels.

This case report describes a postmenopausal woman with hirsutism and hair loss attributed to ovarian stromal hyperplasia; surgical removal of the ovaries normalized testosterone levels and resolved symptoms.

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 anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) showed high sensitivity and specificity as a diagnostic marker for polycystic ovary syndrome in the studied population, suggesting its promise as an objective diagnostic tool.

This case report and literature review describes a 27-year-old woman with a Sertoli Leydig cell tumor causing testosterone-related symptoms and highlights normalization of hormone levels after surgical treatment.

This case report highlights a rare ovarian steroid cell tumor as the cause of androgen excess in a 36-year-old woman and underscores the importance of thorough preoperative workup to avoid unnecessary surgery.

The document concludes that accurate diagnosis of male and female gonadal disorders is crucial for effective treatment and better patient outcomes.

This review highlights the increasing clinical applications of high-frequency ultrasonography in dermatology, particularly for assessing the depth of skin tumors and monitoring inflammatory skin diseases, but reports no new clinical results.

This study determined that an mFG score of 5 or greater defines hirsutism among Southern Chinese women, with prevalence and score thresholds decreasing with age.

In this study, 85.9% of 120 hirsute Saudi women exhibited elevated androgen levels, suggesting the need for a comprehensive hormonal evaluation to identify underlying causes of hirsutism.

In this case report, researchers describe a 13-year-old phenotypic female with 46,XY karyotype, previously misdiagnosed with androgen insensitivity syndrome, who was later identified to have 17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 3 deficiency, underscoring the importance of genetic and hormonal tests for accurate diagnosis of sex development disorders.

This case report describes a 36-year-old woman with hidradenitis suppurativa whose condition progressed to rapidly fatal squamous cell carcinoma, highlighting the potential for aggressive tumor development linked to specific protein markers.

This study found no significant relationship between hormone levels and sexual function in young women with hirsutism compared to a control group.

This case report identified ovarian hyperthecosis as the cause of recent-onset androgenic symptoms in a 73-year-old woman, which was confirmed by ovary removal and led to symptom improvement.

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.

This case report describes a 34-year-old woman with pituitary stalk interruption syndrome, highlighting the need for long-term follow-up due to potential progression from isolated hormonal deficiencies to pan-hypopituitarism.
