This study describes a postmenopausal woman's diagnosis with ovarian hyperthecosis, confirmed by a GnRHa test normalizing testosterone, highlighting hormone therapy as a therapeutic option when surgery is not feasible.

This study suggests that androstendione and DHEA are useful indicators for diagnosing hyperandrogenemia in hirsute women, while DHEAS was not found to be helpful.

This case study describes a rare instance of virilization during pregnancy in a woman with PCOS, with symptoms resolving post-delivery as testosterone levels normalized.

Evaluate and manage androgen excess in women with a systematic approach, considering both physical and psychological impacts.

This case study in a 62-year-old postmenopausal woman highlights Leydig cell hyperplasia as a likely cause of hyperandrogenism of ovarian origin, where bilateral oophorectomy resolved the condition and confirmed the diagnosis through histopathological examination.

This case study reported hyperandrogenism in non-obese triplet sisters with one sister's hyperthyroidism masking its clinical and biochemical signs until treatment increased her androgen levels and hirsutism.

In this study, the authors concluded that clinical hyperandrogenism is not a reliable predictor for biochemical hyperandrogenism in Thai women with PCOS.

This study describes a method to estimate endogenous hormone production by neutralizing an endogenous hormone with an oppositely acting hormone.

This case report illustrates a rare instance of mixed germ cell tumor in the pituitary with hyperandrogenism, emphasizing the importance of thorough examination and hormone evaluation in identifying hormonal dysfunctions.

A 73-year-old woman's unusual hair loss and growth led to the discovery of a rare condition causing too much testosterone, which improved after her ovaries were removed.

This review discusses the complexities of diagnosing and managing hyperandrogenism in women, emphasizing the need for careful evaluation of both clinical signs and biochemical markers without reporting new clinical results.

In this article, the authors detail approaches for diagnosing and managing hyperandrogenism in young women, focusing on conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome and hirsutism, and highlight the importance of differentiating physiological from pathological causes to guide appropriate treatment strategies, often involving combined oral contraceptives.

This review explores the role of hyperandrogenism, including adrenal-derived 11-oxygenated androgen, in the development of polycystic ovarian syndrome and discusses potential therapeutic strategies targeting androgen excess, without reporting new clinical results.

This study found that polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common cause of cutaneous manifestations of hyperandrogenism in women of reproductive age, with hirsutism severity correlated to serum testosterone levels.

This case report describes a 15-year-old girl with severe hyperandrogenaemia linked to both an ovarian androgen-secreting tumor and HAIR-AN syndrome, highlighting the complexity of diagnosing polycystic ovarian syndrome.

This case report describes a woman with severe hyperandrogenism due to ovarian tumors, where surgical removal led to dramatic improvement in her diabetes control and reduced insulin requirements.

This case report illustrates that Leydig cell tumors, despite causing significantly elevated androgen levels, can be difficult to localize due to their small size, as demonstrated in a 42-year-old woman whose tumor was only identified after oophorectomy.

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.

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.

A woman's high testosterone levels were caused by a rare ovarian tumor, not the initially diagnosed condition.

This case study discussed a postmenopausal female with androgenic alopecia and hirsutism due to a Leydig cell tumor, suggesting the importance of further workup in women with severe hirsutism or androgenic alopecia.

This case report describes a post-menopausal woman with severe hirsutism whose high testosterone levels decreased after gonadotropin suppression, indicating residual hormone-producing tissue responsive to gonadotropins.

This review discusses the causes and treatment strategies for hirsutism, emphasizing that combination therapy targeting androgen suppression and hair removal techniques is most effective; no new clinical results are reported.

This study found that hyperandrogenemia in Chinese women with PCOS is associated with higher risks of type 2 diabetes and obesity, suggesting it should be prioritized in managing PCOS-related infertility.

This report describes a rare case of elevated serum DHEAS levels in a postmenopausal woman, linked to an ovarian sex cord-stromal tumor rather than the adrenal glands, challenging common assumptions about androgen sources.

This study presents two adolescent cases of ovarian hyperthecosis, a rare cause of severe hyperandrogenism, highlighting management strategies involving gonadotropin suppression and hormone replacement after excluding androgen-producing adrenal and ovarian tumors.

In this case report, a 62-year-old woman with hyperandrogenism and polycythemia was diagnosed with a rare ovarian steroid cell tumor, highlighting the importance of considering such tumors in similar presentations; surgical removal led to symptom and lab normalization.

This review discusses causes, diagnostic guidelines, and management strategies for hirsutism, highlighting the need for appropriate evaluations and treatment considerations in different patient populations, but reports no new clinical results.

This review outlines a diagnostic approach for identifying non-PCOS pathology in women with androgen excess, emphasizing the importance of clinical history and biochemical phenotyping but reports no new clinical results.

This article provides diagnosis and treatment guidelines for hyperandrogenic disorders in women but reports no new clinical results; it offers a summary of accepted scientific information and suggestions for clinical practice.
