In this case study, the researchers reported that treating a woman with type B insulin resistance using rituximab, dexamethasone, and cyclophosphamide greatly reduced her insulin needs, but her hyperandrogenic state persisted, suggesting ovarian hyperthecosis.

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 case series observed that ovarian hyperthecosis can manifest with hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance in postmenopausal women, even when serum testosterone levels are below diagnostic thresholds, suggesting potential gaps in current diagnostic criteria.

This case report describes a woman with hypertension, alopecia, and other symptoms, revealing that her condition was due to ovarian hyperthecosis, highlighting the overlap of adrenal and ovarian disorders.

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

Hair loss in postmenopausal women due to ovarian hyperthecosis is rare, but removing the ovaries can significantly improve the condition.

This case study reported on a 62-year-old woman with ovarian hyperthecosis, which caused symptoms like hirsutism and elevated testosterone; after bilateral oophorectomy, her symptoms improved, suggesting the importance of considering this rare condition in hyperandrogenism diagnosis for postmenopausal women.

In this case study, a 62-year-old woman with ovarian hyperthecosis experienced normalization of elevated testosterone levels and improvement in hirsutism and hair loss following bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.

This study describes a functional disorder in the ovary, known as stromal hyperplasia, characterized by the proliferation of ovarian stroma and luteinization of stromal cells, which is linked to excessive androgen production and elevated testosterone levels.

This study highlights a rare case of ovarian hyperthecosis in a 58-year-old postmenopausal woman, presenting with polycythemia and severe hyperandrogenism symptoms, with resolution of symptoms following laparoscopic bilateral oophorectomy.

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.

In this case report, a 55-year-old postmenopausal woman was diagnosed with ovarian hyperthecosis as the cause of her hyperandrogenism after detailed hormonal and imaging investigations, which was successfully treated with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, leading to symptom improvement and normalized testosterone levels.

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.

This case report highlights the need for early diagnosis and treatment of ovarian hyperthecosis to enhance the quality of life and health outcomes for affected patients.

This case report described a 62-year-old postmenopausal woman with hirsutism whose symptoms improved after a hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy, revealing bilateral ovarian hyperthecosis.

This study describes a postmenopausal woman's diagnosis with ovarian hyperthecosis, confirmed by a GnRHa test normalizing testosterone, highlighting hormone therapy as a therapeutic option when surgery is not feasible.

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.

This case report details a postmenopausal woman with increased libido, hirsutism, and spontaneous orgasms, noting elevated testosterone levels and enlarged ovaries.

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 study reported that testosterone levels over 150 ng/dL combined with lack of testosterone suppression during a low-dose dexamethasone suppression test may indicate androgen-producing tumors, though this wasn't consistent across all cases.

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 study documented a case of a 57-year-old woman with postmenopausal virilism due to a Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor, which improved after surgical treatment.

This brief report discusses spironolactone used as a treatment for hirsutism in a hyperandrogenic woman, offering no new clinical findings and focusing on its antiandrogenic properties.

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

This review outlines a diagnostic approach for identifying non-PCOS pathology in women with androgen excess, emphasizing the importance of clinical history and biochemical phenotyping but reports no new clinical results.

This case report identified ovarian hyperthecosis as the cause of recent-onset androgenic symptoms in a 73-year-old woman, which was confirmed by ovary removal and led to symptom improvement.

In this study, long-term normalization of testosterone levels in postmenopausal women with hyperandrogenism did not improve body mass index, glucose, or lipid metabolism.

This case report describes a woman with severe hyperandrogenism due to ovarian tumors, where surgical removal led to dramatic improvement in her diabetes control and reduced insulin requirements.

The painting of an 18th-century Sicilian baroness shows she had hair loss, possibly due to ovarian issues, insulin resistance, or a specific type of tumor.
