This case report describes a 64-year-old woman with male pattern hair loss and elevated testosterone levels, who was diagnosed with an androgen-secreting adrenal tumor and successfully treated with laparoscopic adrenalectomy.

In this study, a 37-year-old female with resistant hypertension and signs of Cushing's syndrome and primary aldosteronism was found to have normal cortisol levels but high levels of cortisol and aldosterone via adrenal venous sampling, leading to a diagnosis confirmed by right adrenalectomy.

This report details a 6-year-old girl with adrenocortical cancer presenting with voice changes, weight gain, and excessive hair growth, successfully treated with surgery and medication, with symptoms resolved after 6 months.

This case report describes a challenging diagnosis of Cushing’s syndrome using endocrine tests and imaging, which ultimately identified an adrenal etiology. Successful treatment involved a non-invasive desmopressin stimulation test and right adrenalectomy, leading to improvement in symptoms and health outcomes for the patient.

This case report describes a postmenopausal woman with hirsutism and androgenetic alopecia, where imaging ruled out malignancy and selective venous sampling indicated increased testosterone from the right adrenal vein, leading to a recommendation for right adrenalectomy and oophorectomy.

This case report presents a rare instance of recurrent ACTH-independent Cushing’s syndrome due to PBMAH, coinciding with the development of a pheochromocytoma, highlighting the need for thorough reevaluation in similar recurring cases.

This case report describes a functional adrenocortical oncocytoma that co-secreted testosterone and cortisol.

This case study highlights the significance of early diagnosis and treatment of Cushing's syndrome during pregnancy, as it is associated with severe maternal and fetal complications, including stillbirth.

This case report describes a rare occurrence of giant bilateral adrenal myelolipomas in a 28-year-old female with CAH, emphasizing that large, hormonally active, or painful myelolipomas should be surgically removed.

This study reported a rare case where a pheochromocytoma produced ACTH, leading to cyclic Cushing syndrome, and underscores the importance of considering this possibility in cases of ACTH-dependent hypercortisolism with an adrenal mass.

The case showed the need for quick investigation of virilization in women and how emotional health is linked to physical health.

The removal of the adrenal tumor improved the patient's symptoms and reduced androgen levels, indicating successful surgery.

In this case report, a 10-year-old girl with an adrenal adenoma experienced symptoms like hirsutism and clitoromegaly; after surgical removal of the tumor, her symptoms and biochemical abnormalities resolved over several months.

This case report describes a 20-month-old female with a rare adrenocortical virilizing tumor, successfully treated with surgery, showing no pathological lesions over a 10-year follow-up.

This report describes an exceptionally rare adrenal neoplasm in a post-menopausal woman that exclusively secreted DHEA-S, with significant serum level reduction following adrenalectomy.

This case report describes a 19-year-old patient with microsatellite stable adrenocortical carcinoma who showed a promising 36-month response to pembrolizumab, including structural and biochemical improvements, with primary adrenal insufficiency as a major side effect.

In this study, adrenalectomy in rats on a diet lacking certain vitamin B components reversed fur graying and enhanced hair growth.

This study reports that bilateral adrenalectomy and DOC treatment in mink significantly advanced the onset of summer fur growth compared to controls, indicating adrenal hormones may inhibit this process.

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

This case report concludes that a combination of physical examination, hormonal evaluation, and imaging studies is crucial for identifying malignant adrenal masses, with radical excision and adjuvant therapy improving patient outcomes.

This case report describes a rare instance of functioning adrenocortical oncocytoma in a 14-year-old girl with virilization and reviews related literature.

This review discusses the physicochemical properties, binding mechanisms, and factors affecting corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) functions, but reports no new clinical results.

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 article reviews the types and characteristics of adrenal cortex tumors, including their hormone secretion and detection as incidental findings, but presents no new research results.

This case report describes a 17-year-old boy with alopecia areata who had vitamin D deficiency and an incidentally discovered adrenal ganglioneuroma, with alopecia receding after vitamin D supplementation but later recurring despite normalized vitamin D and no tumor return.

In this case study, researchers reported a 61-year-old postmenopausal woman with virilizing symptoms like hirsutism and voice deepening was found to have an androgen-secreting adrenal tumor, emphasizing the importance of considering this diagnosis in similar cases.

This case report describes an isolated DHEA-S secreting adrenocortical carcinoma in a 52-year-old woman who presented without typical hyperandrogenic symptoms.

This case report highlights a rare diagnosis of an androgen-secreting adrenal tumor in a patient with hyperandrogenism and virilization symptoms, emphasizing the role of gynecologists in early detection.

ACTH promotes hair growth in mink, but α-MSH does not.

This study found that adrenal hormones appear to inhibit winter fur growth onset in mink and may affect the duration of inactivity between fur growth periods.
