This article discusses polycystic ovary syndrome, describing its diagnostic criteria and noting that it is a common cause of anovulatory infertility and hirsutism, without reporting new research findings.

This review highlights that pediatric hirsutism, often linked to endocrine, metabolic, genetic, or neoplastic disorders, requires comprehensive evaluation to prevent long-term health issues, integrating advancements in androgen biosynthesis understanding and diagnostic and management strategies.

This article reviews the differential diagnosis and management approaches for androgen excess disorders, highlighting the predominance of polycystic ovary syndrome as the underlying cause and reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the causes and treatments of hirsutism in women and reports no clinical results; it emphasizes the importance of identifying androgen-secreting tumors that require distinct therapy.

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 postmenopausal woman with androgenic alopecia and progressive hirsutism who, despite normal imaging, had significantly elevated testosterone due to a Leydig cell tumor, revealed after surgical exploration; the condition improved post-surgery, underscoring the importance of considering such tumors in similar presentations.

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, the coexistence of hypercalcemia and androgen excess in a postmenopausal woman was linked to primary hyperparathyroidism and a suspected androgen-secreting ovarian tumor, underscoring the need for a comprehensive diagnostic approach to identify overlapping endocrine disorders.

This case report highlights the need to assess postmenopausal women with hirsutism for hyperandrogenism causes, as exemplified by a Leydig cell tumor coinciding with primary hyperparathyroidism.

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 study highlights the global prevalence of hirsutism in women and reviews its diagnostic criteria, potential underlying causes like polycystic ovary syndrome, and treatment options, emphasizing the need for tailored, multifaceted management and acknowledging the distress it causes patients.

This study highlights a rare case of ovarian hyperthecosis in a 58-year-old postmenopausal woman, presenting with polycythemia and severe hyperandrogenism symptoms, with resolution of symptoms following laparoscopic bilateral oophorectomy.

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.

This article describes the causes of hirsutism, introduces a novel assessment tool, and suggests strategies for investigation and management, but provides no new experimental results.

Hyperandrogenism is diagnosed using clinical signs, lab tests, and imaging.

This review covers the clinical features, pathophysiology, differential diagnoses, and therapeutic options for neuroendocrine paraneoplastic syndromes affecting the skin but reports no new clinical findings.

In this article, the authors detail approaches for diagnosing and managing hyperandrogenism in young women, focusing on conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome and hirsutism, and highlight the importance of differentiating physiological from pathological causes to guide appropriate treatment strategies, often involving combined oral contraceptives.

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 case report describes a 65-year-old postmenopausal woman with hyperandrogenism caused by a non-malignant ovarian Leydig cell tumor, which is a rare cause of virilization.

In this case report, a 48-year-old woman's hyperandrogenism, presenting with symptoms like acne and hirsutism, was attributed to a benign Leydig cell tumor, which resolved after surgical removal.

This case report highlighted rapid virilization in a woman with adrenocortical carcinoma, stressing the importance of androgen evaluation to suspect underlying ovarian or adrenal tumors.

This case report documents a cat with necrolytic migratory erythema due to glucagonoma and diabetes mellitus, highlighting similarities to glucagonoma syndrome in humans.

This study describes a postmenopausal woman's diagnosis with ovarian hyperthecosis, confirmed by a GnRHa test normalizing testosterone, highlighting hormone therapy as a therapeutic option when surgery is not feasible.

Hair loss improved after removing pituitary tumor.

This study found that mice lacking the 1αOHase enzyme, which is responsible for producing a key vitamin D metabolite, showed impaired epidermal differentiation and delayed recovery of skin barrier function after disruption.

This study found that long-term GnRH agonist administration in premenopausal women with polycystic ovarian disease resulted in persistent suppression of ovarian steroid secretion, while adrenal steroid levels remained unchanged.

This study found that excess vitamin A in organotypic cultures of embryonic mouse skin led to abnormal hair follicle development and glandular metaplasia, unlike in untreated controls that showed normal differentiation.

This review discusses the relationship between estrogen deficiency and skin aging in postmenopausal women, noting potential benefits of estrogen use on skin collagen and elasticity, but reports no new clinical results.

This study discusses the use of oral contraceptives as a treatment for hyperandrogenism, showing improvement in hirsutism and acne for many women and possibly providing metabolic benefits with certain formulations.

This review concludes that antiandrogens with ovarian suppression may significantly improve hirsutism and androgenetic alopecia in women with PCOS, but treatment needs to continue unless the underlying PCOS cause is addressed.
