This case study reports the first known instance of hepatic adrenocortical carcinoma in a virilized young woman, highlighting the importance of comprehensive evaluation to identify ectopic adrenal tumors.

This review discusses the pathophysiological impacts of hyperandrogenism in women with PCOS and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight lifestyle changes as a primary management strategy.

This case study suggests that genetic susceptibility to PCOS and rare syndromes, such as Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome Type 1, should be considered in young men with unexplained hyperandrogenism.

The case showed the need for quick investigation of virilization in women and how emotional health is linked to physical health.

This study found that women with postadolescent acne often exhibit symptoms of hyperandrogenism, such as hirsutism and androgenetic alopecia, but have minimal hormone profile abnormalities.

This review discusses the hypotheses surrounding the developmental origins of polycystic ovary syndrome, particularly the role of prenatal androgen exposure, and reports no new experimental results.

This study found a high prevalence of hyperandrogenemia in women with PCOS, with distinct biochemical differences according to BMI and presence of hyperandrogenemia.

This study found that a self-assessed modified Ferriman-Gallwey score of 10 or higher indicates excess body hair, and suggests androstenedione measurement should accompany testosterone when evaluating hyperandrogenism.

Androgens like testosterone affect skin health and can lead to conditions such as acne and hair loss, with various treatments available.

This case report describes a rare instance of virilizing androgen production due to an ovarian serous cystadenoma in a 59-year-old woman, with testosterone levels normalizing after its removal.

This case report describes three instances where occult ovarian Leydig cell tumors were suspected based on severe hyperandrogenism symptoms, despite negative imaging findings, highlighting that elevated testosterone levels are a crucial diagnostic marker.

In this case study, authors reported that a 43-year-old female patient initially showed persistently high testosterone levels due to immunoassay interference, later verified as normal using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), highlighting the need to consider assay artifacts in diagnosing hyperandrogenism without clinical signs.

This article reviews the complex relationship between androgenic hormones and skin disorders, emphasizing the need for further innovative research to understand varying skin responses, but it reports no new findings.

This review discusses the relationship between hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance in PCOS, focusing on insulin dynamics, molecular mechanisms, genetic studies, and potential long-term treatments, but presents no new clinical results.

In this cross-sectional study at a tertiary care hospital, researchers found a significant correlation between cutaneous manifestations like hirsutism and acne and biochemical hyperandrogenism levels in women with PCOS, suggesting these skin conditions can predict elevated androgen levels.

This study found that girls with prepubertal simple hypertrichosis had significantly higher plasma levels of dihydrotestosterone compared to controls, which does not align with other androgen markers and warrants further investigation.

This review explores the potential impact of hormonal changes during aging on benign prostate hyperplasia-related urinary symptoms and metabolic syndrome, highlighting the hypothesis of a male PCOS-equivalent but reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses the complex pathogenesis of hirsutism and reports no new clinical results; further research is needed for better diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

This study found that the severity of female pattern hair loss in premenopausal women was associated with clinical signs of hyperandrogenism, such as hirsutism and acne, but not with biochemical parameters.

In this study, biochemical and clinical hyperandrogenism in PCOS were found to be distinct entities with no strong androgen correlation to clinical symptoms like acne or hirsutism.

This case report describes a postmenopausal woman with androgenic alopecia and progressive hirsutism who, despite normal imaging, had significantly elevated testosterone due to a Leydig cell tumor, revealed after surgical exploration; the condition improved post-surgery, underscoring the importance of considering such tumors in similar presentations.

Antiandrogens can treat excess body hair and hair loss by blocking male hormones.

This article proposes a hypothesis that hyperandrogenemia is the final common pathway for developing adolescent PCOS and emphasizes the importance of reducing androgen levels to mitigate risks of metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and infertility in adulthood.

This study reports that in a case of benign Brenner tumor, elevated androgens may originate from luteinized stromal cells, as these cells do not convert androgen to estrogen due to suppressed aromatase biosynthesis.

In this study, among women with polycystic ovary syndrome, free testosterone was most frequently elevated, highlighting its importance in biochemical assessment and suggesting the need for age-related interpretation of DHEAS levels.

This case report describes a misdiagnosed case of HAIR-AN syndrome with an unfortunate outcome, highlighting the challenges in distinguishing it from other hyperandrogenic conditions.

This review discusses the evaluation of hyperandrogenemia in women and hypogonadism in men across different life stages and presents biomarkers used for diagnosing male hypogonadism, reporting no new clinical results.

This study observed that "physiological" hyperandrogenism due to elevated total testosterone was associated with a 23.5% incidence of arterial hypertension, unlike hyperandrogenism due to elevated DHT levels.

This case report highlighted rapid virilization in a woman with adrenocortical carcinoma, stressing the importance of androgen evaluation to suspect underlying ovarian or adrenal tumors.

This review discusses the regulation of hair growth, causes of excessive androgen secretion, and current safe solutions for hyperandrogenism manifestations in women but reports no new clinical results.
