This article reports two cases where ovarian hyperthecosis caused hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women, confirmed by imaging and resolved after bilateral oophorectomy.

This review discusses the characteristics, diagnostic challenges, and management options for postmenopausal hyperandrogenism but reports no new clinical results; it highlights the importance of distinguishing potential androgen-producing tumors or hyperandrogenic disorders.

The woman's rare combination of diseases suggests an unknown factor may predispose individuals to multiple endocrine diseases.

In this case study, the use of somatostatin analogues was effective in localizing and confirming a neuroendocrine lung tumor as the source of ectopic ACTH syndrome, leading to marked clinical improvement in a patient unable to undergo surgery.

This case report highlights Leydig cell hyperplasia as a rare cause of increased testosterone and postmenopausal hirsutism, resolved after bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in a 64-year-old woman.

This source explains that Equine Cushing’s disease, or PPID, in horses is due to the degeneration of brain cells producing dopamine, leading to elevated cortisol levels and characteristic symptoms; it outlines diagnosis methods and emphasizes life-long pergolide treatment to manage the condition.

This case report describes a post-menopausal woman with severe hirsutism whose high testosterone levels decreased after gonadotropin suppression, indicating residual hormone-producing tissue responsive to gonadotropins.

This case report describes a 64-year-old postmenopausal woman with hirsutism due to a rare case of bilateral diffuse ovarian Leydig cell hyperplasia, leading to normalized testosterone levels and improved glycaemic control following surgery.

This case study reports that hormonal imbalances in a young boy with precocious pseudopuberty returned to normal after the removal of a testicular interstitial cell tumor, with normal spontaneous puberty following.

In this case study, a 12-year-old boy with Cushing's Disease experienced a complex diagnostic journey; ultimately, a left-side ACTH-secreting microadenoma was identified and treated with gamma knife therapy, normalizing hypercortisolism but resulting in growth hormone deficiency.

This case report highlights that macro-TSH, a rare condition causing falsely elevated TSH despite normal thyroid hormone levels, can lead to misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment; identifying TSH antibodies and fractionation chromatography can prevent incorrect management, as demonstrated in a 19-year-old patient.

This review discusses the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in regenerative plastic surgery and dermatology for hair regrowth and skin revitalization, noting some potential side effects without reporting new clinical results.

This case study reported a 34-year-old woman presenting with secondary amenorrhea, hirsutism, and obesity showed elevated testosterone and anti-Müllerian hormone levels, leading to the exclusion of nonclassical congenital adrenal hyperplasia as a diagnosis.

This case study reports a rare instance of a virilizing androgen-only secreting adrenal cortical adenoma in a 13-year-old, with symptom resolution after surgical removal.

This study found that 76.19% of patients with acquired hypoparathyroidism had mucocutaneous manifestations, with common features including loss of hair and xerotic skin.

This study presents two adolescent cases of ovarian hyperthecosis, a rare cause of severe hyperandrogenism, highlighting management strategies involving gonadotropin suppression and hormone replacement after excluding androgen-producing adrenal and ovarian tumors.

This case study reported hyperandrogenism in non-obese triplet sisters with one sister's hyperthyroidism masking its clinical and biochemical signs until treatment increased her androgen levels and hirsutism.

This study found widespread localization of parathyroid hormone-related protein in normal and cancerous canine tissues, suggesting a potential physiological role as a paracrine or autocrine factor.

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 review describes two cases of young women with primary amenorrhea and hyperandrogenemia, suggesting that adrenal tumors should be considered in patients with significantly elevated circulating testosterone levels.

This case study reported a unique instance of a benign adrenal adenoma co-secreting cortisol and DHEA-S, which initially mimicked PCOS symptoms. Surgical removal resulted in significant clinical improvement, confirming the diagnosis of cyclic adrenal Cushing's syndrome.

This case report describes a challenging diagnosis of Cushing’s syndrome using endocrine tests and imaging, which ultimately identified an adrenal etiology. Successful treatment involved a non-invasive desmopressin stimulation test and right adrenalectomy, leading to improvement in symptoms and health outcomes for the patient.

This case series highlights the risk of iatrogenic Cushing syndrome and adrenal insufficiency among immigrant patients using over-the-counter medications from other countries, which often contain hidden glucocorticoids marketed as vitamins, prompting clinicians to perform thorough medication histories for accurate diagnosis and management.

This case report highlights a rare diagnosis of an androgen-secreting adrenal tumor in a patient with hyperandrogenism and virilization symptoms, emphasizing the role of gynecologists in early detection.

This report describes a rare case of elevated serum DHEAS levels in a postmenopausal woman, linked to an ovarian sex cord-stromal tumor rather than the adrenal glands, challenging common assumptions about androgen sources.

This study indicates that targeting the PTH/PTHrP receptor may potentially stimulate hair growth, particularly for chemotherapy-induced alopecia, as observed in hairless and cyclophosphamide-treated mice.

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 case study highlights the complexity of managing autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1, emphasizing the need for thorough clinical history, high suspicion for early diagnosis, and continuous long-term follow-up.

This case study reports a patient with ACTH-driven cortisol secretion 14 years after adrenalectomy, suggesting possible residual adrenal tissue or extra-adrenal steroid synthesis, challenging the need for lifelong steroid replacement.

This case study details the successful use of metyrapone to manage severe Cushing’s disease symptoms and stabilize a patient’s biochemical parameters before she underwent pituitary surgery.
