This case series observed the efficacy of GnRH analogues in diagnosing and treating various forms of ovarian hyperandrogenism, illustrating their role in symptom management without surgery, particularly for benign conditions and refractory androgen excess.

This case study describes two postmenopausal women with severe androgen excess symptoms, diagnosed with ovarian hyperthecosis and stromal hyperplasia, emphasizing the challenges in differentiating these benign conditions from androgen-secreting tumors and the importance of surgical and histopathological evaluation for correct diagnosis and management.

In this case report, hyperandrogenism, including hirsutism and elevated testosterone, in a post-menopausal woman on anastrozole for breast cancer may be attributed to the drug after ruling out other serious causes like ovarian hyperthecosis.

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

This paper discusses four rare causes of hyperandrogenism in women, emphasizing the importance of detailed biochemical testing and invasive diagnostic tools when imaging fails to identify ovarian tumors.

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.

This review discusses the causes and recommended clinical investigations for postmenopausal hyperandrogenism, highlighting the role of androgen excess in symptoms like hirsutism and its association with metabolic disorders.

This review discusses female hyperandrogenism, focusing on its diagnosis, differential diagnoses, and individualized treatment approaches to improve patient health and quality of life, and reports no clinical results.

A woman's high testosterone levels were caused by a rare ovarian tumor, not the initially diagnosed condition.

This review discusses female hyperandrogenism, detailing diagnostic criteria and treatment options without reporting new study results; it emphasizes improving health and quality of life for affected women.

A 73-year-old woman's unusual hair loss and growth led to the discovery of a rare condition causing too much testosterone, which improved after her ovaries were removed.

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.

Evaluate and manage androgen excess in women with a systematic approach, considering both physical and psychological impacts.

This review discusses the characteristics of benign biphasic ovarian neoplasms called adenofibromas and reports no new clinical findings.

Treatment with a hormone agonist can reduce excess male hormones in postmenopausal women without surgery.

This review found that hyperandrogenism in premenopausal women is linked to a higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and diseases regardless of obesity, while in postmenopausal women, these risks depend on obesity.

This case report describes a 48-year-old woman with a history of PCOS and chemotherapy-induced menopause who was found to have a rare ovarian steroid cell tumor causing postmenopausal hyperandrogenism.

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 review discusses various forms and categories of hypertrichosis, as well as methods for managing the condition, but does not report new clinical results.

This case report describes a 15-year-old Japanese girl with juvenile hypothyroidism who developed hypertrichosis and hyperkeratosis due to a keratin plug inhibiting hair growth on her back and arms.

This case study reports a new variant of chronic dermatophytosis with giant cutaneous horns, suggesting a possible genetic link and highlighting successful treatment with antifungal medications.

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 study found that both finasteride and flutamide effectively reduce hirsutism in women with polycystic ovary syndrome or idiopathic hirsutism, but flutamide was more effective.

This review discusses the dermatologic manifestations of hyperandrogenism in women and outlines the diagnostic approach and treatment options, reporting no new clinical results.

Antiandrogens, particularly flutamide and CPA, are most effective for treating hirsutism, with long-term use needed for best results.

This study found that surgical normalization of testosterone in hyperandrogenic women with ovarian androgen-secreting tumors did not significantly change body weight or insulin sensitivity after 12 months.

This study reports that in women with non-tumor hyperandrogenism, a decrease in serum testosterone from insulin-sensitizing therapy like metformin may indicate a low likelihood of having an androgen-secreting tumor.

This review discusses hormonal changes during menopause, emphasizing the relative androgen excess and the role of insulin resistance, and reports no new clinical findings.
