This case study reports that a virilizing Leydig cell type ovarian tumor in a 40-year-old woman caused hyperandrogenism and virilization symptoms, which improved post-surgery.

This study describes the case of a Filipino woman with virilisation, where a rare ovarian Leydig cell tumour was identified and removed, normalizing her testosterone levels.

In this case study, a 69-year-old woman with signs of virilization and high testosterone levels was found to have an ovarian steroid cell tumor, highlighting the importance of systematically investigating such symptoms in postmenopausal women to determine the underlying etiology and prevent poor prognosis.

In this case study, researchers identified a Leydig cell tumor in a 56-year-old postmenopausal woman with virilization symptoms by using ovarian vein sampling, as imaging was nonrevealing, and confirmed the tumor's location using testosterone ratios, which supported previous findings.

This case report highlights the importance of considering an ovarian steroid cell tumor diagnosis in young women with increased testosterone after ruling out polycystic ovarian syndrome.

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 study reports that in a case of benign Brenner tumor, elevated androgens may originate from luteinized stromal cells, as these cells do not convert androgen to estrogen due to suppressed aromatase biosynthesis.

This case study of a young Palestinian woman illustrates the diagnostic and treatment challenges of ovarian steroid cell tumors, highlighting the importance of detailed examination when hormonal therapy fails.

This article reviews existing knowledge on postmenopausal hyperandrogenism and highlights diagnostic challenges, reporting no new clinical results.

In this study, long-term normalization of testosterone levels in postmenopausal women with hyperandrogenism did not improve body mass index, glucose, or lipid metabolism.

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 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 report presents a rare case where a bilateral ovarian thecoma in a postmenopausal woman led to an unusual pattern of female androgenetic alopecia mimicking male pattern hair loss.

This case report describes a postmenopausal woman with a rare instance of ovarian fibrothecoma exhibiting virilizing features, who presented with symptoms such as excess hair growth and clitoromegaly.

This case report highlights a Palestinian woman with a rare ovarian steroid cell tumor, underscoring the diagnostic challenges and potential for disease progression despite treatment attempts with various chemotherapy regimens.

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.

In this case series study, two Peruvian women with virilizing ovarian tumors called Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors showed clinical improvement and normalization of androgens after surgical treatment, highlighting the diagnostic challenge of these rare presentations at different ages.

This review outlines a diagnostic approach for identifying non-PCOS pathology in women with androgen excess, emphasizing the importance of clinical history and biochemical phenotyping but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses diagnostic and management approaches for hirsutism, emphasizing that most cases are due to polycystic ovary syndrome or obesity-related disorders, with idiopathic hirsutism often treated cosmetically.

This review discusses causes and treatments for hirsutism in women and reports no new clinical results.

This study reports a case of an ovarian steroid cell tumor with malignant potential, presenting unusually with osteopenia and low weight instead of the expected virilizing symptoms.

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.

An 81-year-old woman's severe male hormone symptoms were caused by an ovarian tumor, which was treated with surgery.

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 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 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 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.

A rare pancreatic tumor caused a woman's male-like features, treated successfully with surgery and medication.

This case study reported a 68-year-old woman with postmenopausal virilization due to a rare Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor, where her symptoms and elevated testosterone levels only normalized post-surgery, underscoring the importance of thorough evaluation in such cases to improve diagnosis and treatment.
