A woman developed thick gums from everolimus treatment after a kidney transplant.

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.

Skin-associated cartilage cells can influence hair growth by altering specific signaling pathways.

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 study highlights a testosterone- and cortisol-secreting adrenal oncocytic neoplasm in an 18-year-old woman, illustrating the role of surgical excision in resolving hyperandrogenism and restoring menstruation.

This letter to the editor describes a case of postcast hypertrichosis in a patient with frontal fibrosing alopecia and reports no new research findings.

This study found that hypertrophic chondrocytes at the fracture callus border may convert to osteoblasts, influenced by vasculature and pluripotency gene expression.

This article reviews the mechanisms controlling long bone growth and suggests that new research approaches are needed to explore the role of extrinsic signals and tissue interactions.

This study found that alopecia areata can occur due to local pressure from extraoral orthodontic appliances, with hair regrowth associated with relieving the pressure.

In this study, researchers identified that keloid fibroblasts respond to neurotransmitters from catecholaminergic nerves by producing bone matrix proteins, mediated by β1-adrenergic receptor activation, leading to fibro-osseous reprogramming; blocking this signaling in a rodent model prevented the development of keloid-like pathology.

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.

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

This study found a significantly higher density of Demodex mites in sebaceous hyperplasia lesions compared to controls, suggesting a possible link between Demodex and the development of these skin lesions.

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.

This case study reports a peculiar variant of an epidermal cyst in a patient, featuring unique characteristics like brownish, lumpy contents resembling bone marrow.

This case report describes a postmenopausal woman with androgenic alopecia and progressive hirsutism who, despite normal imaging, had significantly elevated testosterone due to a Leydig cell tumor, revealed after surgical exploration; the condition improved post-surgery, underscoring the importance of considering such tumors in similar presentations.

This study observed that the Hedgehog-GLI1 signaling pathway is upregulated in keloid patient–derived stem cells, and inhibiting this pathway reduced keloid characteristics in both mice and ex vivo tissue cultures, suggesting potential therapeutic targets for keloid treatment.

Latanoprost eye drops caused excessive hair growth and eyelash whitening in a woman.

This case study describes three young females with hirsutism who were diagnosed with different underlying conditions—late-onset congenital adrenal hyperplasia, idiopathic hirsutism, and polycystic ovary syndrome with ovarian thecosis—highlighting the need for reevaluation if initial treatments are ineffective.

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 article reviews the characteristics, common locations, and causes of epidermoid cysts, noting that surgical excision is the standard treatment, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This case report found that topical bimatoprost usage in a female Hispanic patient with open-angle glaucoma was associated with hypertrichosis and increased pigmentation of vellus hairs on the malar region.

This article discusses the causes of hirsutism, identifying increased androgen production and heightened skin sensitivity, and provides no new clinical results.

This case report describes successful CO2 ablation treatment of porokeratotic adnexal ostial nevus in an 8-year-old boy, with marked improvement over a 12-year follow-up.

This article reports on a case where a 26-year-old woman with acromegaloidism was found to have X-tetrasomy, suggesting it should be considered in differential diagnoses due to its potential impact on growth-related genes.

This study found that three wall orbital decompression by the coronal approach effectively reduces proptosis in Graves' ophthalmopathy patients with fewer complications compared to other techniques.

Hirsutism is abnormal male-pattern hair growth in females due to excess androgens.

In this study, the misshaped and hairy ear phenotype in mutant mice was linked to mis-expression of certain Hoxc genes due to a chromosomal inversion.
