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 case report highlights a rare ovarian steroid cell tumor as the cause of androgen excess in a 36-year-old woman and underscores the importance of thorough preoperative workup to avoid unnecessary surgery.

This case report concludes that the presence of distinctive histiocytic responses in a Cambodian woman's eyelid lipogranulomas suggests surreptitious silicone injections despite her denial of prior procedures.

Ovarian hyperthecosis caused high testosterone and virilization symptoms in a 60-year-old woman, which improved after surgery.

This study described four cases of delayed diagnosis of Cushing’s syndrome, highlighting that increased clinical awareness and screening could reduce its associated morbidity and mortality.

This paper reports that noggin inhibits BMP-2 and BMP-4 functions by binding and blocking their interaction with the BMP receptor, impacting multiple developmental processes without presenting new research results.

Healing psoriatic plaques can cause unexpected hair growth.

This case report observed hypertrichosis on the left forearm of an 80-year-old woman, possibly linked to her previous use of the topical steroid betamethasone butyrate propionate for dermatitis.

This review discusses osteoma cutis, a rare benign condition involving bone formation in the skin, covering its potential origins, diagnostic methods, and treatment options, without presenting new clinical findings.

This study found that an injectable calcium alginate-amelogenin hydrogel is biocompatible, degradable, anti-inflammatory, and promotes osteogenesis, which may enhance the bone healing process in jaw and facial bone defect areas by mediating the bone immune microenvironment.

This report discusses two cases of porokeratotic eccrine ostial and dermal duct nevus and porokeratotic eccrine and hair follicle nevus, suggesting they may represent a single clinical entity, but reports no therapeutic outcomes.

This study found that EGF receptors are aberrantly regulated and persist in cholesteatoma epithelium, suggesting a hyperproliferative character compared to normal human skin.

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 study observed a high prevalence of PCOS among young female-pattern hair loss patients and suggested that AMH levels might be more indicative of FPHL than traditional androgens.

This study found that enlarged facial pores in women show distinct microstructural alterations, including regular keratinocyte arrangement and irregular dermo-epidermal junctions, highlighting changes in skin tension linked to pore enlargement.

This study diagnosed a group of six girls with various ectodermal abnormalities, identifying cranio-skeletal malformations consistent with focal dermal hypoplasia (Goltz syndrome), and found heterozygous mutations in the PORCN gene in two children.

This case report describes a 22-year-old woman with hirsutism and irregular menstrual bleeding, diagnosed with an ovarian steroid cell tumor (NOS), whose androgen levels normalized after surgery.

This report describes a case of scarring alopecia in a 7-year-old girl, highlighting the presence of inflammation without true sclerosis despite normal bone age and negative fungal tests.

This study found that transgenic expression of COX-2 in mouse basal keratinocytes causes epidermal hyperplasia and certain dysplastic features at specific body sites.

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.

This review discusses the role of oestrogens in stimulating growth hormone secretion and influencing linear bone growth in children, and reports no new clinical results; the authors suggest that oestrogens play a key role in pubertal growth spurts for both genders.

In this study, bilateral oophorectomy was reported as an effective treatment for normalizing androgen levels and resolving hypersexuality and related symptoms in a post-menopausal woman with ovarian hyperthecosis, suggesting its importance in addressing excess androgen production in such cases.

In this report, an 80-year-old male with elevated serum IgG4 presented with a lesion suggestive of IgG4-related ophthalmic disease, but lack of orbital imaging and biopsy precluded definitive diagnosis, highlighting the necessity of excluding similar conditions before long-term treatment.

This review discusses the role of oestrogens in stimulating linear bone growth and pubertal changes in both boys and girls, highlighting their influence on the growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor axis; it reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes an 80-year-old woman with severe androgenic alopecia linked to Leydig cell hyperplasia in an ovarian cyst, highlighting the need to investigate androgen-secreting tumors in similar cases.

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.

In this study, transgenic mice overexpressing the glucocorticoid receptor in certain epithelia showed skin development abnormalities resembling ectodermal dysplasia and exhibited reduced inflammatory responses.

This case report details a diagnostic challenge in a postmenopausal woman with severe hyperandrogenism where distinguishing between adrenal and ovarian causes was complicated by elevated 17-OH Progesterone and asymmetric ovarian enlargement; pending surgical pathology is expected to guide further management.

In this study, a 13-year-old boy developed temporary pressure alopecia from wearing orthodontic headgear, which resolved after discontinuation, highlighting a rare side effect that can affect psychosocial wellbeing.
