This review discusses female hyperandrogenism, focusing on its diagnosis, differential diagnoses, and individualized treatment approaches to improve patient health and quality of life, and reports no clinical results.

In this study, a 7-year-old male ferret was diagnosed with hyperadrenocorticism complicated by dilatative cardiomyopathy, chronic active hepatitis, and renal disease, following symptoms including progressive hair loss and severe dehydration.

In this case report, authors described a pet golden hamster with a confirmed adrenocortical adenocarcinoma, where laboratory testing and diagnostic imaging enabled antemortem diagnosis, despite the species' rarity for these procedures.

In this review, the authors aim to improve the differential diagnosis between hyperandrogenic PCOS and NCAH, which could lead to more personalized treatment strategies for patients experiencing hyperandrogenism.

This case study identified a probable pure testosterone-secreting ovarian tumor in a woman with increased facial hair and elevated testosterone levels, confirmed by histological examination as Leydig cells hyperplasia, which normalized testosterone and symptoms post-surgery.

This article reviews the differential diagnosis and management approaches for androgen excess disorders, highlighting the predominance of polycystic ovary syndrome as the underlying cause and reports no new clinical findings.

This case report describes a rare instance of a patient with anorexia nervosa who was subsequently diagnosed with Cushing's syndrome, highlighting diagnostic challenges due to overlapping symptoms.

In this case report, successful management of a pituitary macroadenoma was achieved with thyroid hormone therapy, leading to reduced tumor size and improvement in symptoms like galactorrhea and headaches.

This study described four cases of delayed diagnosis of Cushing’s syndrome, highlighting that increased clinical awareness and screening could reduce its associated morbidity and mortality.

This clinical case report identifies xanthomatous hypophysitis in a male patient, highlighting the mismatch between clinical symptoms and MRI findings, which led to a pituitary biopsy and accurate diagnosis instead of unnecessary surgery.

This case report details a 13-year-old boy with Cushing syndrome, where BIPSS identified the pituitary gland as the cortisol excess source and hormonal tests showed suppressed puberty markers.

This case report describes an isolated DHEA-S secreting adrenocortical carcinoma in a 52-year-old woman who presented without typical hyperandrogenic symptoms.

This study found that diagnosing nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia in women based solely on serum 17OHP measurements can lead to false positives, suggesting the need for urinary steroid profiles and genetic testing for confirmation.

This case report describes a patient with an ovarian steroid cell tumor that initially presented as non-classical adrenal hyperplasia, emphasizing the difficulty in differential diagnosis with hyperandrogenism and the importance of close clinical monitoring.

In this case report, a 21-year-old woman diagnosed with ACTH-independent Cushing syndrome showed improvement in symptoms, including a more regular menstrual cycle and lower hirsutism, after starting treatment with ketoconazole, although she developed hypertension.

This review discusses various skin lesions associated with endocrinologic disorders such as Cushing's syndrome and adrenal insufficiency, and it reports no new clinical results.

This case report presents a patient with idiopathic isolated ACTH deficiency and testicular germ cell tumor, with alopecia areata as an initial symptom, suggesting a potential link between these conditions.

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is mainly caused by enzyme deficiencies, leading to varying symptoms like hormone imbalances and physical changes.

This study, conducted on 17 dogs with hyperadrenocorticism in Germany, concluded that while common symptoms like polyuria and polydipsia were observed in all cases, clinical signs and blood parameters did not significantly correlate with diagnostic test results for the condition.

This case report details a functioning adrenocortical oncocytoma in a 3-year-old girl with hirsutism and virilization, highlighting its rarity in childhood and including a literature review without new clinical data.

This case series reports three cats diagnosed with hypersomatotropism due to GH-secreting pituitary adenomas without concurrent diabetes mellitus, highlighting the potential for underdiagnosis in non-diabetic cats.

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.

This paper discusses four rare causes of hyperandrogenism in women, emphasizing the importance of detailed biochemical testing and invasive diagnostic tools when imaging fails to identify ovarian tumors.

This case report describes a postmenopausal woman with hirsutism and androgenetic alopecia, where imaging ruled out malignancy and selective venous sampling indicated increased testosterone from the right adrenal vein, leading to a recommendation for right adrenalectomy and oophorectomy.

This case report describes a patient with polyglandular autoimmune syndrome type 2 diagnosed via adrenal crisis, with thyroid, adrenal, and ovarian involvement.

This case study reported a 34-year-old woman presenting with secondary amenorrhea, hirsutism, and obesity showed elevated testosterone and anti-Müllerian hormone levels, leading to the exclusion of nonclassical congenital adrenal hyperplasia as a diagnosis.

This case study highlights the overlooked condition of opioid-induced adrenal insufficiency, emphasizing the need for increased clinician awareness of its potential prevalence in chronic opioid users.

This report details a 6-year-old girl with adrenocortical cancer presenting with voice changes, weight gain, and excessive hair growth, successfully treated with surgery and medication, with symptoms resolved after 6 months.

In this study, plasma levels of MSH and cortisol in patients with alopecia areata did not show significant changes compared to healthy controls.
