This case report highlights a rare instance of postmenopausal virilization in a 71-year-old woman due to coexisting ovarian hilus cell hyperplasia and a Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor.

This case report details a 73-year-old woman with significant hirsutism and hair loss linked to a rare ovarian Leydig cell tumor, which was resolved by bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, normalizing her testosterone levels and addressing her symptoms.

This review describes how sex hormones like estrogens and androgens influence skin health, linking hormonal fluctuations to conditions such as acne and hair loss, and underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to treatment that includes mental health support.

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

This article reviews hirsutism, its causes, cultural perceptions, and symptoms, but provides no new clinical findings beyond existing descriptions and statistics on hair growth patterns in women.

This narrative review discusses various causes and treatments of hirsutism in women, emphasizing the importance of identifying androgen-secreting tumors, but does not present new study results.

This study developed a detailed classification system for functional androgenization in females that may enhance diagnosis and personalized treatment by identifying individual dysfunctions.

This review evaluates the hormonal, metabolic, and clinical aspects of a male equivalent PCOS syndrome in men and highlights areas where further research is needed, reporting no new empirical findings.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome in China had elevated androgen levels compared to healthy controls, and suggests body weight management and SHBG and FAI testing are recommended for these women.

This study suggests that acne is often associated with hyperandrogenemia in women, contradicting previous recommendations that acne is not linked to androgen excess disorders.

Excessive hair growth in women can be treated with medications like spironolactone and finasteride, and male-pattern baldness in women can be improved with similar treatments.

This case report discusses a postmenopausal woman whose hyperandrogenism and metabolic symptoms improved significantly after the surgical removal of an ovarian Leydig cell tumor, confirmed post-operatively.

This review discusses the relationship between acne, body hair, and androgenic stimulation in adolescent girls, emphasizing treatment decisions based on disease severity rather than endocrine findings.

This study found that serum androgen levels were associated with the severity of hirsutism in women, with significantly higher levels observed in those with moderate to severe hair growth.

This study found that androstenedione was more effective than testosterone in diagnosing hyperandrogenism in women with PCOS when measured by LC-MS/MS.

This article discusses androgenetic alopecia as a potential early marker for benign prostatic hyperplasia but reports no new clinical findings.

Hormone treatment caused hair loss, finasteride helped regrowth.

This case report describes how a 68-year-old woman's hyperandrogenic symptoms improved and testosterone levels normalized after the surgical removal of an occult Leydig cell tumour.

This review discusses hirsutism in women with PCOS who present with normal androgen levels and highlights diagnostic challenges, reporting no new clinical findings.

This article discusses various causes and treatment options for hirsutism in women, highlighting the effectiveness of cyproterone acetate and the importance of weight reduction, without presenting new research findings.

This study found that men with early-onset androgenetic alopecia and certain risk factors may have worse gonadal steroidogenesis and an increased likelihood of developing gonadal dysfunction, suggesting a male equivalent of polycystic ovarian syndrome.

This study found that androgen-regulated genes in hidradenitis suppurativa skin lesions are strongly linked to innate immunity pathways, indicating a potential connection between androgen signaling and inflammation in this condition.

In this case study, prolonged selective suppression of adrenal androgens by glucocorticoids was most likely attributed to the observed loss of pubic and axillary hair in a woman post-bilateral oophorectomy.

In this retrospective review, the author discusses key discoveries in understanding androgen excess disorders like PCOS, focusing on genetic and molecular insights gained from 1965 to 2015.

This study found that late adolescent and young women with clinical hyperandrogenism, including PCOS, experienced higher psychological distress and impaired well-being compared to their healthy peers.

This study identified three subgroups of women with PCOS with distinct androgen profiles, finding that the subgroup with adrenal-derived androgen excess had the highest insulin resistance and rates of hirsutism and hair loss.

This case report describes a testosterone- and cortisol-secreting adrenocortical oncocytoma causing hirsutism in a 23-year-old woman, highlighting adrenal oncocytomas as an important consideration for differential diagnosis.

This article discusses the causes and treatments for hirsutism, concluding that reverse-sequence therapy with cyproterone acetate and ethinyl estradiol is effective for severe cases but has cost and side effects.

This case study reports that a 16-year-old girl with hirsutism and menstrual irregularities was diagnosed with a benign steroid cell ovarian tumor, after high testosterone levels indicated a potential androgen-secreting source.

This study found that men with androgenic alopecia had significantly higher levels of certain urinary steroid metabolites, suggesting increased 5 alpha-reductase activity and possible mild hyperadrenal activity.
