research RARE CASE OF OVARIAN STEROID CELL TUMOR NOT OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN A POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMAN
A woman's rare ovarian tumor was treated with surgery, which stopped her symptoms and normalized her hormone levels.
research Premature Adrenarche
Early adrenal gland maturation in young children can be normal, but other serious conditions should be ruled out first.
research Increased Incidence of Telogen Effluvium Following Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy in Patients with Elevated TNF-α Expression: A Prospective Cohort Study
High TNF-α levels may increase hair loss risk after PRP therapy.
research Hepatic Adenoma in an Adolescent With Elevated Androgen Levels
A teenage girl with high androgen levels and PCOS developed a rare liver tumor, suggesting a possible link between high androgens and the tumor's growth.
research Glioblastoma cells express crucial enzymes involved in androgen synthesis: 3β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, 17‐20α‐hydroxylase, 17β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 5α‐reductase
Glioblastoma cells can make androgens, which might help the tumor grow.
research Approach to Investigation of Hyperandrogenism in a Postmenopausal Woman
Postmenopausal hyperandrogenism, a condition with symptoms like increased hair growth and acne, is usually caused by PCOS but can also be due to other factors. It's diagnosed by checking testosterone levels and treated either by removing the adrenal tumor or through antiandrogen therapy.
research Testosterone-Secreting Adrenal Adenoma That Contained Crystalloids of Reinke in an Adult Female Patient
Leydig cells can cause testosterone-secreting adrenal tumors in women.
research A Large Benign Adrenocortical Adenoma Cosecreting Testosterone and Cortisol
A woman's rare benign tumor that released both cortisol and testosterone was successfully removed, improving her health.
research Rare Conditions of Hyperandrogenism Through Lifespan: A Case Series
Accurate diagnosis of rare hyperandrogenism conditions requires detailed testing and sometimes invasive procedures.
research Utilisation of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue to differentiate ovarian from adrenal hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women
GnRH analogue can help diagnose ovarian causes of high testosterone in postmenopausal women when scans don't show the cause.
research Androgens induce sebaceous differentiation in sebocyte cells expressing a stable functional androgen receptor
Androgens cause oil-producing skin cells with androgen receptors to mature and produce more oil.
research Aldosterone- and cortisol-cosecreting adrenal adenoma, ovarian hyperthecosis and breast cancer
