This article compiles references on toxic epidermal necrolysis and cutaneous reactions to anticancer agents but reports no new findings.

This case report suggests that ovarian steroid cell tumors should be considered in postmenopausal women with hirsutism and elevated testosterone, with surgery being effective in resolving symptoms and preventing recurrence.

This study found that among patients with sex cord stromal ovarian tumors, 11% exhibited signs of virilization, requiring thorough clinical evaluation to rule out non-neoplastic causes.

This case report describes a 69-year-old woman with hirsutism and elevated serum testosterone, where surgery resolved symptoms and serum testosterone, suggesting ovarian steroid cell tumor consideration in similar profiles.

In this study, oral contraceptive use in women with PCOS increased the expression of certain inflammatory gene markers, which were positively associated with metabolic abnormalities.

This case report suggests that PCOS can present with virilization and rapidly increasing testosterone levels, and highlights oral contraceptives' effectiveness in managing hyperandrogenism in such cases.

In this study, PBMCs from women with PCOS showed reduced TNF-α production over time, potentially limiting their antitumor response to breast cancer cell lines compared to healthy controls.

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 underlines the importance of considering alternative diagnoses like ovarian steroid cell tumors in adolescent females with PCOS-like symptoms when standard treatments fail, highlighting the need for thorough evaluation and early intervention.

This case study describes a rare steroid cell tumor of the ovary in a 42-year-old woman, highlighting its virilizing effects and the importance of thorough follow-up due to its potential for malignancy.

This case report describes a rare instance of a Leydig cell tumor in a 35-year-old pregnant woman, discovered incidentally during a cesarean section. The tumor typically presents with symptoms of excess androgen, though it can range from asymptomatic to rapid virilization.

In this case report, the researchers described a postmenopausal woman with androgenic symptoms who was found to have a benign Leydig cell tumor of the left ovary, indicated by elevated testosterone levels and MRI findings, which was successfully treated with surgery.

This review discusses steroid cell tumors of the ovary, their hormone production, symptoms, and evaluation, emphasizing surgery as the key treatment approach; it reports no new clinical results.

In this case report, a 68-year-old woman with a Leydig cell tumor of the ovary experienced virilization, and surgical removal led to normalization of testosterone levels and regression of symptoms.

This report describes a unique case of an ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor with estrogenic symptoms of menorrhagia, which is unusual given the typical androgenic manifestations.

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 and literature review describes a 27-year-old woman with a Sertoli Leydig cell tumor causing testosterone-related symptoms and highlights normalization of hormone levels after surgical treatment.

This case report discusses a 17-year-old in Haiti diagnosed with a rare ovarian Sertoli-Leydig tumor, emphasizing the importance of considering future fertility and psychosocial effects when managing such conditions.

This report describes a complex case of postmenopausal hyperandrogenism with virilization and concurrent rare ovarian tumors, highlighting the critical role of interdisciplinary collaboration in diagnosing and managing such challenging scenarios.

This study reported a rare case of ovarian steroid cell tumor removal resulting in normalized hormone levels, resumption of menstruation, and subsequent spontaneous pregnancy in a 31-year-old woman.

This case study reported that a 51-year-old woman with hirsutism and voice thickening had a Leydig cell tumor detected by PET-CT, which normalized hormone levels and resolved symptoms after surgical removal.

This case report describes a woman in her 30s who had virilisation and androgenic alopecia due to a testosterone-secreting ovarian tumor, which normalized after its surgical removal.

This case report highlights the diagnostic challenge of identifying androgen-secreting ovarian Leydig cell tumors in postmenopausal women when imaging fails to reveal masses, emphasizing the usefulness of ovarian vein sampling for localization.

This case report describes the first known instance of a testosterone-secreting steroid cell ovarian tumor causing pulmonary embolism and erythrocytosis in a postmenopausal woman, highlighting its potential role as a rare cause of hypercoagulable state.

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.

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 review discusses the similarities in clinical, endocrine, and ultrasonographic features between PCOS and other disorders with excessive androgen secretion, emphasizing the importance of accurate diagnosis but reports no new clinical results.

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 report describes a woman with hyperandrogenism and menstrual disturbances, where an ovarian steroid cell tumor was identified and removed, leading to resolution of symptoms.

This case report describes a 58-year-old woman whose virilization symptoms were linked to a steroid tumor of the ovary, emphasizing the importance of prompt diagnosis and treatment to improve her quality of life.
