In this study, a 10-year-old girl developed vitiligo and psoriasis during IFN-alfa treatment for chronic hepatitis B, with neither condition improving after stopping the therapy.

This case study reported that even with improved adrenal androgens and testosterone levels, treating women with AH-PCOS with glucocorticoids did not significantly improve ovulatory function or hirsutism.

This case report describes severe hypothyroidism exacerbated by nephrotic syndrome in a 62-year-old woman, with a diagnosis of membranous nephropathy linked to significant proteinuria.

This study observed that inflammatory stimuli significantly altered gene expression in rat theca-interstitial cells, affecting pathways related to growth and androgen production, which are central features of polycystic ovary syndrome.

In this study of premenopausal Iranian women with hirsutism, polycystic ovary syndrome was a common cause and frequently associated with menstrual irregularity, while elevated androgens or hyperandrogenic conditions were also observed.

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 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 demonstrates that glucocorticoid hepatopathy in Beagle dogs led to rapid and lasting clinical, morphologic, and biochemical changes, which may aid in the future diagnosis and prognosis of similar conditions.

This case study describes a severe instance of iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome induced by gamma-hydroxybutyric acid, exacerbated by combined use of betamethasone and anabolic steroids, in an HIV-positive patient on cobicistat-containing therapy.

This case report describes a testosterone- and cortisol-secreting adrenocortical oncocytoma causing hirsutism in a 23-year-old woman, highlighting adrenal oncocytomas as an important consideration for differential diagnosis.

This study found that hirsutism patients had a strong correlation with polycystic ovary syndrome and elevated levels of certain hormones, such as 17-OHP and serum testosterone.

This study identified xerosis and diffuse hair loss as the most common skin manifestations in patients with hypothyroidism, observed in 38.09% and 34.8% of participants, respectively.

This review discusses the etiology, diagnosis, and management strategies for hirsutism, noting that serious underlying disorders are rare and emphasizing targeted treatment to manage testosterone's effects.

This case report describes the rare association of an ovarian Leydig cell tumor and primary hyperparathyroidism in a postmenopausal woman, highlighting the importance of considering rare causes in patients with virilizing symptoms.

This study identified polycystic ovarian syndrome as the most common cause of hirsutism among patients and found a positive correlation between hirsutism severity and free testosterone levels.

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 study observed that intramuscular injection of sodium 131iodide at doses of up to 1 mCi can successfully induce hypothyroidism in rats without significantly damaging muscle or nearby tissues, despite concerns of adverse effects.

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 found that idiopathic hirsutism was the most common cause of hirsutism among patients, and insulin resistance was significant in those with Hyperandrogenic Insulin Resistant Acanthosis Nigricans Syndrome.

This paper reviews the endocrinological aspects of hirsutism, focusing on the role of androgens in excessive hair growth and the related disorders, without presenting new findings.

In this case report, treatment with corticosteroids improved both clinical symptoms and hormonal imbalances in a 27-year-old woman diagnosed with non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

The GH-IGF-I axis is likely involved in the hormonal imbalances seen in non-obese women with functional hyperandrogenism.

This review examines the role of autoinflammation and immune dysregulation in hidradenitis suppurativa, linking it to genetic factors and autoinflammatory syndromes, but highlights the need for further research to fully understand its pathogenic mechanisms.

This study identified that biotin ingestion led to interference in immunoassay results, falsely indicating high testosterone and insulin levels in a 28-year-old female patient, thus complicating her clinical assessment and treatment planning until recognized and resolved.

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 paper reviews causes of hirsutism in women and emphasizes the importance of identifying underlying conditions for risk assessment, though it reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, a 15-year-old girl presented with symptoms suggesting thyrotoxicosis, and through various diagnostic tests, silent thyroiditis was ultimately diagnosed after negative scintigraphy, highlighting the importance of thorough differential diagnosis in thyroid disorders.

This case study details a 44-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus who developed hypereosinophilic asthma and was initially treated as ANCA-negative eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis. Her condition, eventually classified as HASM, underscores the need for evaluating EGPA-spectrum disorders in similar scenarios.

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.

This case report describes a 36-year-old man who developed generalized eruptive histiocytosis on the scalp after undergoing nine platelet-rich plasma treatments for hair loss, likely triggered by injection-related trauma and inflammation.
