In this study, researchers described hyperandrogenism as a condition resulting from excessive androgen production, which can lead to symptoms like acne, hirsutism, and hair loss, particularly relevant for dermatological evaluation and management in adult females.

This study observed that moderate to severe acne is the most common manifestation in women with hyperandrogenism and highlights acanthosis nigricans and hirsutism as useful clinical markers.

In this case report, a 48-year-old woman's hyperandrogenism, presenting with symptoms like acne and hirsutism, was attributed to a benign Leydig cell tumor, which resolved after surgical removal.

This case study identified a probable pure testosterone-secreting ovarian tumor in a woman with increased facial hair and elevated testosterone levels, confirmed by histological examination as Leydig cells hyperplasia, which normalized testosterone and symptoms post-surgery.

This article discusses the prevalence of hirsutism in women and highlights that many cases exhibit normal androgen levels, suggesting a need for broader diagnostic approaches.

This review discusses female hyperandrogenism, detailing diagnostic criteria and treatment options without reporting new study results; it emphasizes improving health and quality of life for affected women.

This article reviews the role of androgens in skin metabolism and diseases like acne and androgenic alopecia, but reports no new clinical results; the authors note unresolved issues regarding androgen interactions in skin structures.

This case report indicates that HAIR-AN syndrome can lead to severe hyperandrogenism with virilisation signs in women after excluding tumoral causes and identifying signs of insulin resistance.

In this review, the authors discuss various skin conditions linked to hyperandrogenism, such as acne and alopecia, with a focus on androgen-targeted therapies, suggesting these are generally more effective than non-androgen-targeted options.

Personalized treatment is crucial for women with hyperandrogenism-related acne and hirsutism.

This study found that women diagnosed with PCOS who had hyperandrogenic symptoms at diagnosis were more likely to experience persistent androgenic symptoms and impaired quality of life in midlife.

This article discusses the role of androgens in causing hirsutism and male pattern baldness in women and emphasizes the need for antiandrogen treatment to manage these conditions, without reporting new clinical results.

This case study reported that sudden hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women may indicate hormonally active ovarian tumors such as Leydig cell tumors, which can be effectively treated with surgery.

This study found that in men, elevated androgen levels can occur at any age, with older men potentially exhibiting increased total testosterone due to higher levels of SHBG, and younger men showing various clinical manifestations like acne and alopecia.

This study found that pregnancies with gestational diabetes in a Midwestern U.S. cohort demonstrated elevated androgen levels compared to healthy controls, suggesting a common relationship between impaired glucose tolerance and hyperandrogenemia across diverse ethnic backgrounds.

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 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.

This review discusses the importance of androgen production and metabolism in hyperandrogenism, the use of specific serum markers for diagnosis, and the need for improved assays for clinical testing, but reports no new results.

This article reviews the genetic mutations causing male pseudohermaphroditism from 17 beta-HSD-3 and 5 alpha-RD-2 deficiencies and reports no new clinical findings.

This article reports two cases where ovarian hyperthecosis caused hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women, confirmed by imaging and resolved after bilateral oophorectomy.

In this case series, the authors reported that postmenopausal hyperandrogenism should be carefully evaluated to diagnose potential androgen-secreting tumors, with Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors identified as a common cause.

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.

This review highlights that idiopathic hirsutism is characterized by local hyperandrogenization affecting hair growth, without other signs of hyperandrogenism, and shows no new results; racial differences in prevalence are noted but not in androgenic steroids.

This study reported that testosterone levels over 150 ng/dL combined with lack of testosterone suppression during a low-dose dexamethasone suppression test may indicate androgen-producing tumors, though this wasn't consistent across all cases.

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.

This article reviews the diagnosis of hyperandrogenism in PCOS, discussing its clinical and biochemical components, but reports no new clinical results.

This case study reported a 34-year-old woman presenting with secondary amenorrhea, hirsutism, and obesity showed elevated testosterone and anti-Müllerian hormone levels, leading to the exclusion of nonclassical congenital adrenal hyperplasia as a diagnosis.

This study concluded that prepubertal girls with hypertrichosis have androgen receptors with enhanced sensitivity, which may contribute to their increased body hair growth.
