In this case study, a 55-year-old woman with androgenetic alopecia was ultimately diagnosed with hepatic cortisone reductase deficiency after initially suspected 21-hydroxylase deficiency was ruled out.

This article discusses various skin conditions influenced by androgens and reports no new clinical findings.

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.

This study suggests that idiopathic hirsutism may involve higher local androgen synthesis despite normal serum androgen levels, challenging its categorization as idiopathic.

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

This case report describes a 14-year-old girl with signs of virilization, including increased facial and body hair, deepened voice, and elevated serum testosterone and androstenedione levels.

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.

In this case report, a 66-year-old postmenopausal woman with hyperandrogenism and alopecia underwent bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, which revealed rare synchronous ovarian tumors causing virilization, highlighting the importance of surgical exploration despite normal imaging.

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 study found that increased PSA levels in women with hyperandrogenism may serve as a diagnostic marker, comparable to free testosterone levels.

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 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.

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.

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 study found that the androgen precursors DHEA and androstenedione stimulated androgen-sensitive parameters in the sebaceous glands of the skin in castrated male hamsters.

In this study, PCOS was the most common cause of hirsutism among Turkish women, but about 17% had idiopathic hyperandrogenemia with no clear cause identified.

This study found that while many women were aware of some symptoms and causes of androgen excess, there is a need to improve education on this endocrine disorder, especially among those without medical backgrounds.

This review discusses various aspects of hirsutism in women, including causes, hormonal influences, and treatment approaches, but reports no new findings.

This article discusses congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21 hydroxylase deficiency as a cause of ambiguous genitals in 46XX individuals and reports no new research findings.

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 observed that in cases of moderately severe male-pattern hirsutism, elevated free plasma androgen levels occur in 85% of patients, suggesting a subtle hyperandrogenic state as a common underlying factor.

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 review discusses the role of androgens in women's skin-related conditions like acne, hirsutism, and female pattern hair loss, noting the lack of dermatology guidelines for when to pursue endocrinologic evaluation.

This article reviews clinical signs and treatment options for hyperandrogenism in women, emphasizing cyproterone acetate as the most effective antiandrogen for severe hirsutism, but reports no new clinical results.

This study reported that patients with acanthosis nigricans and insulin resistance exhibited higher insulin levels and were associated with increased insulin resistance correlating with serum testosterone levels.

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 article reviews the diagnosis and management of hirsutism in women, discussing its causes, assessment, and treatment options; no new clinical findings are included.

This case report describes an adolescent girl with polycystic ovarian syndrome and endogenously elevated androgen levels who developed a hepatic adenoma, suggesting a link between the two conditions.

In this study, females with hirsutism showed higher levels of certain androgens and reported more frequent symptoms such as infertility and increased skin greasiness compared to those without hirsutism.

This study suggests men with early androgenetic alopecia might have hormonal profiles similar to women with polycystic ovarian syndrome, potentially indicating risk for related health complications.
