In this case report, a 62-year-old postmenopausal woman with hyperandrogenism exhibited male-pattern alopecia and hirsutism, which improved after bilateral adrenal adenomas were removed, underscoring the need for investigation of androgen-producing tumors in similar cases.

This case report from a pediatric setting highlighted how an 11-year-old with Hashimoto thyroiditis experienced atypical manifestations such as short stature, pubertal issues, and hair loss after starting levothyroxine therapy, underscoring the need for early diagnosis and multidisciplinary care to improve health outcomes.

This report suggests a potential link between hyperprolactinemia and alopecia in women with autoimmune thyroid disease and emphasizes the importance of considering other causes in diagnosis.

This study found trilostane to be an effective and generally safe treatment for improving symptoms in dogs with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism.

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 report illustrates that Leydig cell tumors, despite causing significantly elevated androgen levels, can be difficult to localize due to their small size, as demonstrated in a 42-year-old woman whose tumor was only identified after oophorectomy.

This review discusses causes, diagnostic guidelines, and management strategies for hirsutism, highlighting the need for appropriate evaluations and treatment considerations in different patient populations, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that overexpression of parathyroid hormone-related peptide in transgenic mice skin disrupted normal hair follicle development, suggesting a role for the peptide in the early stages of follicle formation.

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 describes a 60-year-old postmenopausal woman with virilization and hirsutism caused by hilus-cell hyperplasia, which was confirmed following bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.

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 case report describes a woman with Sheehan's syndrome, leading to severe combined systolic and diastolic heart failure, where treatment improved cardiac function.

In this case report, a rare instance of ACTH-independent hypercortisolism in a patient with long-standing Addison's disease led to the discovery of an adrenal cortical adenoma, successfully treated with adrenalectomy, underscoring the importance of considering functional adrenal tumors in such atypical biochemical scenarios.

This study suggests that moderate elevated prolactin levels are unlikely to cause significant hair loss in women, but still warrant further diagnostic investigation to rule out a prolactin-producing pituitary tumor.

This study found that thyroid-stimulating hormone receptors are functionally expressed in various skin cells, implying potential physiological and pathological roles in skin, especially in conditions like autoimmune diseases.

In this case report, researchers described a patient with Cushing's Disease exhibiting no detectable mass, where Metyrapone therapy was effectively used to manage symptoms, suggesting a treatment option for similar diagnostic challenges.

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 case report describes a rare instance of a patient with anorexia nervosa who was subsequently diagnosed with Cushing's syndrome, highlighting diagnostic challenges due to overlapping 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 report describes a patient with polyglandular autoimmune syndrome type 2 diagnosed via adrenal crisis, with thyroid, adrenal, and ovarian involvement.

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 review covers the clinical features, pathophysiology, differential diagnoses, and therapeutic options for neuroendocrine paraneoplastic syndromes affecting the skin but reports no new clinical findings.

Early diagnosis and treatment of TPP can prevent complications.

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 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 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.

In this case report, an established Hashimoto's thyroiditis patient converted to Graves disease, highlighting the need for regular monitoring and thyroid function tests to distinguish from potential levothyroxine over-replacement.

This case report highlights that in postmenopausal women with severe hyperandrogenism, thorough adrenal and pelvic evaluations, hormonal profiling, and permanent pathology are essential for accurate diagnosis and management of androgen-secreting tumors, such as AGCTs, to prevent misdiagnosis and ensure effective treatment.

This case study discussed a postmenopausal female with androgenic alopecia and hirsutism due to a Leydig cell tumor, suggesting the importance of further workup in women with severe hirsutism or androgenic alopecia.
