This article reviews existing knowledge on postmenopausal hyperandrogenism and highlights diagnostic challenges, reporting no new clinical results.

This article discusses clinical features and treatment options for hyperandrogenism in women and does not report new findings, highlighting current practices in diagnosis and management.

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.

A woman's high testosterone levels were caused by a rare ovarian tumor, not the initially diagnosed condition.

This review discusses ovarian hyperthecosis as a rare cause of androgenetic alopecia in postmenopausal women and reports no new results; the authors highlight the need to explore its relationship to alopecia further.

In this study, the authors concluded that clinical hyperandrogenism is not a reliable predictor for biochemical hyperandrogenism in Thai women with PCOS.

A 73-year-old woman's unusual hair loss and growth led to the discovery of a rare condition causing too much testosterone, which improved after her ovaries were removed.

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 article discusses hyperandrogenism, including its symptoms, causes, and diagnostic approaches, and reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes the role of interdisciplinary care in treatment.

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 content is not a research abstract; it includes a website navigation notice and no study findings.

This case report describes a postmenopausal woman with virilization linked to ovarian stromal hyperthecosis, highlighting the importance of detailed clinical evaluation and complementary testing for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

This case series detailed three postmenopausal women with ovarian steroid cell tumors, highlighting that such tumors may present asymptomatically or with virilization, and found surgery effectively normalized androgen levels, with distinctive imaging features aiding diagnosis.

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 article discusses various causes of hyperandrogenism in women and highlights diagnostic considerations for conditions such as PCOS, NCCAH, Cushing's disease, and androgen-secreting tumors, without reporting new clinical results.

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 case report details a postmenopausal woman with hyperandrogenism due to both adrenal adenoma and ovarian hyperthecosis, highlighting the effectiveness of hormonal suppression and venous sampling for diagnosis.

This review outlines the challenges in diagnosing hyperandrogenism in women, focusing on its manifestations like hirsutism, acne, and virilization, but provides no new results.

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.

In PCOS, high male hormones cause hair growth, acne, and hair loss, affecting periods.

This review discusses hyperandrogenism in polycystic ovary syndrome, focusing on symptoms and diagnostic criteria, but it reports no new clinical research findings.

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 examines the evaluation and management of hirsutism and hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women and reports no new clinical findings.

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 review discusses the cosmetic and health implications of hirsutism and highlights its potential link to serious underlying disorders, but it presents no new clinical findings.

This study examined a case of postmenopausal virilization in a woman and found that despite normal imaging, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy revealed rare ovarian Leydig cell and Brenner tumors as the source of hyperandrogenism, with symptoms resolving post-surgery.

This report describes a complex case of postmenopausal hyperandrogenism with virilization and concurrent rare ovarian tumors, highlighting the critical role of interdisciplinary collaboration in diagnosing and managing such challenging scenarios.

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 retrospective study found that serum hormone levels and MRI detection of ovarian nodules contributed to distinguishing virilizing ovarian tumors from ovarian stromal hyperthecosis in postmenopausal women, though histopathology remains crucial for diagnosis.
