This review discusses potential causes of alopecia and hair overgrowth in pediatric patients, detailing diagnostic techniques and treatments, but presents no new research findings.

This study found that children with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia had elevated epicardial fat thickness, which was associated with increased carotid intima media thickness, left ventricular mass, and mitral deceleration time.

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 the effective use of spironolactone for hirsutism in a patient with porphyria cutanea tarda.

The document concludes that most hair loss treatments don't work, balding isn't caused by dandruff, and hair loss may indicate serious health issues that require medical attention.

This study found that localized skin calcification could be induced in adult rats through dihydrotachysterol treatment combined with topical trauma, offering an experimental model for calcifying scleroderma.

This case study reports on a rare form of vitamin D resistant rickets in a 37-year-old male, highlighting the condition's clinical features and the necessity for a thorough understanding of calcium and vitamin D metabolism in the diagnosis and management of metabolic bone diseases.

This case study describes a 36-year-old woman with a history of recurrent limb weakness linked to hypokalemia and later diagnosed with Cushing syndrome indicated by elevated cortisol levels and a pituitary mass, which was treated with surgery and radiosurgery.

This study found that calcitriol-resistant rickets is associated with alopecia in children and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of hair loss.

This study highlights a rare case of vitamin D-dependent rickets type 2A caused by a heterozygous mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene, emphasizing the complexity of managing this condition with high-dose calcium and vitamin D therapy.

Idiopathic hypoparathyroidism is rare and can be managed with dihydrotachysterol.

This article reports a rare case of squamous cell carcinoma with miliary calcification in a cutaneous horn, suggesting possible involvement of calcium-binding proteins in this unique presentation.

This retrospective study found that a majority of patients with low vitamin D levels also exhibited secondary hyperparathyroidism, highlighting the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and increased parathyroid hormone levels.

This study observed that children with a genetically transmitted defect in the 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 receptor experienced spontaneous healing of rickets as they aged, despite persistent mineral imbalances during treatment.

This report describes two sisters with rickets and alopecia unresponsive to high doses of vitamin D2, where oral phosphorus supplements led to significant clinical improvement.

This study found that alopecia in four children was linked to severe calcitriol-resistant rickets, suggesting this condition should be considered among inherited hair growth disorders.

This study discusses calcinosis cutis and alopecia totalis, highlighting the need for thyroid disease screening in children with alopecia areata, especially those with a history of Down syndrome or signs of potential thyroid dysfunction.

In this case report, researchers described how autoimmune thyroid disease can obscure primary hyperparathyroidism diagnosis, emphasizing the necessity of combining imaging, cytology, biochemical assessment, and parathyroid scintigraphy for accurate diagnosis.

This case study reported that reducing glucocorticoids resolved calcinosis cutis in a dog with hypoadrenocorticism, while demodicosis was treated with a fluralaner chewable tablet.

This study found that hair analysis may be useful in early breast cancer detection by identifying distinct calcium and strontium concentration patterns before and during cancer development.

The authors of this study concluded that higher calcium levels in hair may indicate early metabolic changes leading to osteopenia or osteoporosis in menopausal women, even before detectable by standard DEXA imaging.

This study found that epithelial components of calcifying epithelioma of Malherbe showed lectin binding and keratin staining patterns similar to normal hair follicles, with prominent Con A staining in tumor giant cells.

This case report identifies a 32-year-old woman with undiagnosed PHPT-1a who exhibited complete pseudo-anodontia and persistent patchy alopecia areata, suggesting these may be new nonclassical features of a GNAS pathogenic variant.

This report describes a rare case of tumoral calcinosis presenting as a slow-growing mass on the scalp in an Afro-Caribbean man, with histopathology revealing calcium deposits and associated tissue changes.

This case report describes a 35-year-old woman with a Rathke’s cleft cyst presenting with Cushing disease, highlighting the need to evaluate hormonal hypersecretion in atypical pituitary lesions.

This case report highlights the importance of timely biochemical and radiographic evaluation of adrenal masses, as illustrated by a rapidly progressing aggressive adrenal cortical carcinoma.

This case report highlights the need to assess postmenopausal women with hirsutism for hyperandrogenism causes, as exemplified by a Leydig cell tumor coinciding with primary hyperparathyroidism.

This report details the treatment of hyperparathyroidism in an 11-year-old girl through the removal of a parathyroid adenoma and reviews related pediatric cases; no new clinical outcomes are presented.

This case report highlighted a rare instance of Cushing's syndrome caused by ectopic ACTH from cervical cancer, demonstrating diagnostic challenges, treatment complexity, and high risks of morbidity and mortality, with less than 10 cases documented overall.
