This review discusses the causes and treatments of hirsutism, emphasizing identifying potentially life-threatening pathologies, but it reports no new clinical results.

This case report indicates that HAIR-AN syndrome can lead to severe hyperandrogenism with virilisation signs in women after excluding tumoral causes and identifying signs of insulin resistance.

This review summarizes the structural and chemical characteristics of current and novel antiandrogenic drugs but reports no new clinical findings.

This case study describes a 15-year-old girl with a Sertoli–Leydig cell tumor who showed high androgen levels and steroidogenic responses similar to patients with polycystic ovary syndrome before surgery.

This case report describes three instances where occult ovarian Leydig cell tumors were suspected based on severe hyperandrogenism symptoms, despite negative imaging findings, highlighting that elevated testosterone levels are a crucial diagnostic marker.

This case study reported a postmenopausal woman with a testosterone-secreting ovarian tumor that was not detected through standard clinical or radiological examination but was found via biopsy.

This study emphasizes the necessity of confirming elevated testosterone levels detected by immunoassay with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectroscopy before pursuing more complex diagnostic evaluations.

This case report describes a 15-year-old girl with severe hyperandrogenaemia linked to both an ovarian androgen-secreting tumor and HAIR-AN syndrome, highlighting the complexity of diagnosing polycystic ovarian syndrome.

This study found that dihydrotestosterone treatment in female rats altered anterior pituitary gland gene expression, with significant repression of prolactin and inhibition of GnRH receptor gene expression, suggesting specific hormone production changes.

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 medical imaging of the ovaries may not always conclusively identify the cause of postmenopausal hyperandrogenism, as demonstrated by a patient with a rare condition.

This review discusses androgenization symptoms like hirsutism, alopecia, and acne in reproductive-age women, focusing on diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, and highlights postmenopausal considerations, but presents no new clinical findings.

This case report describes a 72-year-old woman with a steroid cell tumor of the ovary, highlighting the critical role of imaging, biochemical evaluation, and pathology in diagnosing and managing hormonally active ovarian tumors that cause virilization in postmenopausal women.

This case report describes a rare instance of virilizing androgen production due to an ovarian serous cystadenoma in a 59-year-old woman, with testosterone levels normalizing after its removal.

In this case study, biotin supplementation was reported to interfere with free testosterone assay results, leading to falsely low readings in a postmenopausal woman with hyperandrogenism.

This case report details a post-menopausal woman with hirsutism and virilization due to rare Leydig cell tumors in both ovaries, underscoring the challenge of detecting such tumors with standard imaging.

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

This review examines the causes, assessment, and treatments of hirsutism and highlights the need for future research in managing this condition but presents no new research findings.

In this case report, a preoperative core biopsy for a giant rhinophyma provided a misleading diagnosis, and the authors suggest such biopsies may be unnecessary.

Healing psoriatic plaques can cause unexpected hair growth.

This review discusses evidence-based treatments for common hair loss forms, noting robust support for androgenetic alopecia therapies but limited long-term data and fewer high-quality studies for alopecia areata and cicatricial alopecias.

This study found that the VEGF +405G/C polymorphism may be an inheritable risk factor for polycystic ovary syndrome in south Indian women.

This study reported two cases of alopecia universalis triggered by PEG-interferon and ribavirin therapy for chronic hepatitis C, with hair regrowth observed after therapy completion or withdrawal.

This review discusses the definition, causes, diagnostic strategies, and treatment options for hirsutism in women without reporting new clinical results, and highlights the impact of the condition on self-esteem.

This review discusses current treatment options for hirsutism, emphasizing the importance of combining therapies for better outcomes, but reports no new clinical findings.

This article describes cases of allergic contact dermatitis triggered by minoxidil but provides no new clinical findings.

This study describes a distinctive form of ichthyosis characterized by abnormal epidermal differentiation mainly within hair follicles in four patients with congenital follicular hyperkeratosis.

This study found that ossification in trichilemmal cysts may be more common than previously thought, often associated with cyst wall rupture, and reports a novel case of ossifying TC with extramedullary hematopoiesis.

This review discusses the definition of polycystic ovary syndrome proposed by the AE-PCOS Society Task Force, emphasizing hyperandrogenism, ovarian dysfunction, and excluding related disorders, while noting potential variations needing more research.

This consensus report reviews current knowledge and identifies knowledge gaps concerning the various health aspects of polycystic ovary syndrome, without presenting new clinical findings.
