This case report describes a 69-year-old woman with hirsutism and elevated serum testosterone, where surgery resolved symptoms and serum testosterone, suggesting ovarian steroid cell tumor consideration in similar profiles.

In this study, researchers observed that testicular 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency in an inbred Arab population in Israel leads to genital ambiguity at birth and progressive virilization after puberty.

This case report highlights that a postmenopausal woman experienced virilization due to unintentional transdermal absorption of testosterone from her spouse's topical androgen via shared washcloths, underscoring the importance of considering exogenous androgen exposure in similar diagnoses.

In this study, researchers found that oestrogen did not increase adrenal androgen secretion in children with premature adrenarche or in adolescents with gonadal dysgenesis undergoing oestrogen replacement therapy.

This case report describes a girl with familial adenomatous polyposis who exhibited heterosexual precocious puberty due to an adrenal tumor secreting cortisol and androgens; after her adrenalectomy, her hormone levels normalized and symptoms improved, illustrating the link between genetic syndromes and endocrine disorders.

This study found that ovarian suppression significantly reduced serum testosterone and androstenedione in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome and idiopathic hirsutism, with hair growth rates decreasing more in polycystic ovarian syndrome.

This case report described a 62-year-old postmenopausal woman with hirsutism whose symptoms improved after a hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy, revealing bilateral ovarian hyperthecosis.

This case study reports an Asian female with congenital adrenal hyperplasia presenting atypically with polymenorrhagia, who showed improvement with oral dexamethasone, despite no change in hirsutism or clitoromegaly.

This study reports that various antiandrogen therapies, including spironolactone and finasteride, effectively address hirsutism, acne, androgenic alopecia, and ovulatory dysfunction in hyperandrogenic women and are generally well tolerated.

This study found that transgender patients on masculinizing hormone therapy had a higher likelihood of developing acne compared to cisgender women, and were more likely to experience AGA compared to cisgender women.

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.

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, treatment with corticosteroids improved both clinical symptoms and hormonal imbalances in a 27-year-old woman diagnosed with non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

This article reviews the causes and treatments of hypertrichosis and hirsutism and reports no new clinical findings; the authors compare diagnostic strategies and discuss available treatment options.

This review summarizes the structural and chemical characteristics of current and novel antiandrogenic drugs but reports no new clinical findings.

This case study reports a rare instance of an estradiol-secreting adrenocortical carcinoma in a 58-year-old male, causing feminization and Marie-Antoinette syndrome, with potential paraneoplastic aortitis.

This article reviews the role of 5α-reductase in cutaneous hyperandrogenism and the potential of 5α-reductase inhibitors and antiandrogens in treating conditions like hirsutism and male-pattern baldness, reporting no clinical results.

In this study, PCOS was the most common cause of hirsutism among Turkish women, but about 17% had idiopathic hyperandrogenemia with no clear cause identified.

This study found that while 11-oxyandrogens are linked to excess hair growth, they do not aid in diagnosing PCOS and require further research to determine their clinical utility.

This review discusses the clinical evaluation and investigation needed for hirsute women, suggesting that most cases require minimal testing unless virilism or severe symptoms are present; no new clinical results are provided.

In this study, females with hirsutism showed higher levels of certain androgens and reported more frequent symptoms such as infertility and increased skin greasiness compared to those without hirsutism.

This study found that insulin resistance is common among Pakistani women with PCOS and is independently associated with increased hyperandrogenism, as indicated by correlations with testosterone levels and other androgenic measures.

This case series detailed three postmenopausal women with ovarian steroid cell tumors, highlighting that such tumors may present asymptomatically or with virilization, and found surgery effectively normalized androgen levels, with distinctive imaging features aiding diagnosis.

This review discusses the expression of PSA in hormonally-regulated tissues and female malignancies, emphasizing its potential as a diagnostic biomarker and role in antidoping initiatives.

This study found that androsterone glucuronate (ADT-G) was the only androgenic metabolite sensitive to detecting differences between adult women with acne and controls, and its levels decreased with systemic treatment.

This study examined 12 women with androgenetic alopecia and found that many had other symptoms linked to hyperandrogenism, suggesting the importance of further hormone level investigations.

This article provides citations without reporting new findings on androgen conjugate levels in alopecia.

This review discusses the role of androgen hormones in skin and hair conditions and highlights the potential of antiandrogen therapies in dermatology, reporting no new results.

This abstract reviews the use and effects of various antiandrogens, finding clinical benefits in treating hyperandrogenism in women and improvements in urinary symptoms or cancer management in men, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study identified that biotin ingestion led to interference in immunoassay results, falsely indicating high testosterone and insulin levels in a 28-year-old female patient, thus complicating her clinical assessment and treatment planning until recognized and resolved.
