This study reported that classic anovulatory PCOS was the most common androgen excess disorder, followed by mild ovulatory PCOS and idiopathic hyperandrogenism, among patients evaluated for clinical hyperandrogenism.

This case study reports a rare instance of mucinous cystadenoma causing severe virilization in a postmenopausal woman, highlighting a possible link with rapidly progressive hyperandrogenism.

This case report describes a 60-year-old postmenopausal woman with virilization and hirsutism caused by hilus-cell hyperplasia, which was confirmed following bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.

In this case report, the authors describe the diagnosis and management of a rare case of hyperandrogenism in a postmenopausal woman, attributed to coexisting ovarian Leydig cell and Brenner tumors, with improvement in symptoms following bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.

In this case report, the coexistence of hypercalcemia and androgen excess in a postmenopausal woman was linked to primary hyperparathyroidism and a suspected androgen-secreting ovarian tumor, underscoring the need for a comprehensive diagnostic approach to identify overlapping endocrine disorders.

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 case report highlights Leydig cell hyperplasia as a rare cause of increased testosterone and postmenopausal hirsutism, resolved after bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in a 64-year-old woman.

This study found a high prevalence of clinical signs and functional disorders of androgen excess in premenopausal women, with idiopathic hyperandrogenism and idiopathic hirsutism rates similar to PCOS.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have more pronounced metabolic alterations and higher androgen levels compared to women with eumenorrheic hyperandrogenism, suggesting EuHyperA may be a milder form of PCOS.

This study observed that hyperandrogenism in men manifests with varying symptoms, where older men may have high total testosterone due to increased SHBG without elevated free testosterone, while younger men often show signs like acne and alopecia with elevated DHT or testosterone.

This article outlines a diagnostic and therapeutic strategy for female functional androgenization, detailed by guidelines and lifestyle recommendations, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses causes and treatments for hirsutism in women and reports no new clinical results.

This case study reported a unique instance of a benign adrenal adenoma co-secreting cortisol and DHEA-S, which initially mimicked PCOS symptoms. Surgical removal resulted in significant clinical improvement, confirming the diagnosis of cyclic adrenal Cushing's syndrome.

This case study reported that even with improved adrenal androgens and testosterone levels, treating women with AH-PCOS with glucocorticoids did not significantly improve ovulatory function or hirsutism.

In this study, women with polycystic ovary syndrome had higher body mass index and hormone levels compared to healthy women, with hyperandrogenism symptoms like hirsutism and alopecia more prevalent among the obese participants.

This review found that women with idiopathic hirsutism may have increased 5α-reductase activity, as indicated by elevated levels of a dihydrotestosterone-reduced metabolite, but more research is needed to confirm its clinical relevance as a biomarker.

Hirsutism and acanthosis nigricans are important for diagnosing PCOS; dermatologists play a key role in early detection and treatment.

This case report describes a 64-year-old postmenopausal woman with hirsutism due to a rare case of bilateral diffuse ovarian Leydig cell hyperplasia, leading to normalized testosterone levels and improved glycaemic control following surgery.

This case study highlights the challenges of diagnosing hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women, reporting a patient with androgenic alopecia and high testosterone due to a benign Leydig cell tumor in the ovary; surgery successfully normalized testosterone levels.

This review discusses the definition, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of hirsutism and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the physiological process of adrenarche, its impact on behavior and skeletal maturation, and its variability across sex and race, but reports no new clinical results.

In this case report, researchers described a postmenopausal woman with virilization symptoms who was diagnosed with a Leydig cell tumor in her ovary, and symptoms improved following tumor removal. The authors highlighted the diagnostic challenge of differentiating such cases from age-related hormonal changes.

This review discusses the impact of hormonal changes on female skin and hair loss and suggests that antiandrogenic treatments may help mitigate these effects, but reports no new clinical results.

In this case study, a postmenopausal woman with symptoms of virilization was diagnosed with a rare ovarian Leydig cell tumor, and surgical removal led to a resolution of her hyperandrogenism and related symptoms, highlighting the importance of thorough differential diagnosis in postmenopausal hyperandrogenism.

This case study found that a 1.6cm ovarian Leydig cell tumor, causing hyperandrogenism in a postmenopausal woman, evaded detection on standard imaging techniques, underscoring the difficulty of diagnosing such tumors with imaging alone.

This article is a discussion piece that examines the clinical symptoms of hyperandrogenic women with COVID-19, without reporting new research findings.

This case report details a postmenopausal woman whose hyperandrogenism was attributed to ovarian stromal hyperplasia, ultimately resolved with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.

This clinical case study reports on a postmenopausal woman experiencing hair loss and virilization symptoms, which were ultimately attributed to rare ovarian tumors identified after a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, despite normal imaging results.

In this case report, a 71-year-old woman with severe hyperandrogenism and virilization revealed a bilateral ovarian steroid cell tumor, confirmed after adnexectomy, resulting in normalized testosterone levels and improved hirsutism post-surgery.

This research reports that many acne patients have elevated androgen levels, contributing to a cycle that may lead to polycystic ovarian disease and potentially sterility.
