This case report highlighted rapid virilization in a woman with adrenocortical carcinoma, stressing the importance of androgen evaluation to suspect underlying ovarian or adrenal tumors.

In a clinical case study, researchers identified adrenocortical adenoma as the cause of hyperandrogenism syndrome in a preschool-aged girl, following a comprehensive diagnostic process and successful surgical intervention to remove the tumor, leading to positive clinical improvements.

This case report concludes that a combination of physical examination, hormonal evaluation, and imaging studies is crucial for identifying malignant adrenal masses, with radical excision and adjuvant therapy improving patient outcomes.

This case report highlights a rare diagnosis of an androgen-secreting adrenal tumor in a patient with hyperandrogenism and virilization symptoms, emphasizing the role of gynecologists in early detection.

This study found that adrenal sex hormone levels were elevated in neutered dogs with hypercortisolemia, except for testosterone, highlighting the importance of ruling out hypercortisolemia when diagnosing adrenal hyperplasia syndrome.

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.

In this study, administering dexamethasone rapidly normalized elevated steroid levels in girls with premature adrenarche.

This paper reviews adrenocortical carcinoma, discussing its prevalence, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options, but reports no new clinical results.

This study presents a 63-year-old man with uncontrolled hypertension and facial hair who was diagnosed with adrenocortical adenoma, and whose blood pressure improved post-surgery.

This review describes two cases of young women with primary amenorrhea and hyperandrogenemia, suggesting that adrenal tumors should be considered in patients with significantly elevated circulating testosterone levels.

This case report describes an adult female with congenital adrenal hyperplasia who developed secondary amenorrhea and hair loss due to androgen overproduction from ovarian adrenal rests, detectable only after pelvic venous sampling, and normalizing after unilateral oophorectomy.

This report of three cases found that diagnosing hypercortisolism during pregnancy can be challenging, but early detection using unbound steroid levels and MRI could prevent severe complications.

This case study reports a rare instance of a virilizing androgen-only secreting adrenal cortical adenoma in a 13-year-old, with symptom resolution after surgical removal.

This review discusses the interrelationship between the anterior pituitary's adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and the adrenal cortex, but reports no new experimental findings.

This article reviews the types and characteristics of adrenal cortex tumors, including their hormone secretion and detection as incidental findings, but presents no new research results.

In this case study, a six-year-old girl was diagnosed with isolated adrenarche, linked to premature adrenal maturation, with increased dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and axillary and pubic hair growth, and will require long-term monitoring due to increased risks of conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome and cardiovascular diseases.

This case report describes a 36-year-old female patient with panhypopituitarism, experiencing severe adrenal insufficiency and thyroid hormone deficiency, which led to electrolyte imbalance, QT interval prolongation, and ventricular tachycardia; treatment stabilized her condition, underscoring the importance of hormonal evaluation in arrhythmia assessment.

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 case study describes an extremely rare instance of androgen-secreting adrenocortical carcinoma in a patient with non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

This case report describes an 8-year-old Russian Blue cat with bilateral adrenal carcinomas secreting high levels of progesterone, showing symptoms similar to hypercortisolism.

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 review discusses clinical, hormonal, and genetic aspects of nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia and reports no new findings; the condition is highlighted as a potential cause of premature adrenarche and other symptoms in young people.

In this case report, a 10-year-old girl with an adrenal adenoma experienced symptoms like hirsutism and clitoromegaly; after surgical removal of the tumor, her symptoms and biochemical abnormalities resolved over several months.

The removal of the adrenal tumor improved the patient's symptoms and reduced androgen levels, indicating successful surgery.
