Abstract A 53-year-old woman presented with hirsutism of long duration and virilization of recent onset. She was gravida 12 para 9. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In this article, we present the first published cases of the magnetic resonance imaging appearance of these conditions, which may mimic that of ovarian neoplasm. [dx.doi.org]

Hirsutism
Abstract A 53-year-old woman presented with hirsutism of long duration and virilization of recent onset. She was gravida 12 para 9. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
CASE: A postmenopausal woman sought treatment for progressive hirsutism. Endocrine evaluation revealed androgen excess. Transvaginal ultrasound revealed enlarged ovaries. Hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy were recommended. [jhu.pure.elsevier.com]

Women with hyperthecosis often have more markedly elevated testosterone, more hirsutism, and are much more likely to be virilized. [en.wikipedia.org]

Adnexal Mass
A transvaginal ultrasound revealed bilateral solid adnexal masses, likely to be ovarian in nature, although no normal ovarian tissue was identified. [endocrine-abstracts.org]
Transvaginal ultrasound showed a normal uterus with endometrial thickness of 5 mm and no adnexal masses. Figure 1. Facial features of the patient with frontal balding and prominent facial hair requiring regular shaving Questions: 1. [hkmj.org]
Nonetheless, a small painless mobile firm and solid left adnexal mass was detected in the bimanual pelvic examination. Pelvic sonography also showed enlarged left ovary (40 mm 21 mm) without visible mass. [mjdrdypu.org]
Local genital examination showed mild clitoromegaly; per speculum examination showed healthy cervix and vagina; on bimanual examination the uterus was normal in size with no palpable adnexal mass. [jpgo.org]
Doppler examination of the left adnexal mass showed rich intratumoral vascularity on color flow mapping with high resistance wave pattern, suggestive of a benign nature (B). Click here to download Figure 4 Figure 4. [asean-endocrinejournal.org]

Ovarian Disorder
Young and Scully s 1979 classification of ovarian tumors with endocrine manifestations ( Figure 1 ) includes sex-cord stromal tumors, steroid-cell tumors and other ovarian disorders with endocrine function. [omicsonline.org]
Workup
Further workup with transvaginal ultrasonography showed a thickened, hyperechoic endometrium (0.72 cm) at the upper half of the uterus, with minimal intracavitary fluid. The lower endometrium measured 0.37cm. [asean-endocrinejournal.org]

Ovarian Mass
At 15 days after the initial MR imaging examination, a second MR imaging demonstrated shrinkage of the bilateral ovarian masses. Change in the peripheries to predominantly isointensity to myometrium on the T2-weighted images was also observed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Here, we report a case of a 55-year-old woman who referred to our center due to incidental finding of left ovarian mass in pelvic sonography. [mjdrdypu.org]
CT of the abdomen and pelvis did not show an adrenal or ovarian mass. [healio.com]
Most ovarian hemangiomas are of the cavernous type and they may present either as an isolated ovarian mass, usually discovered incidentally, or in conjunction with diffuse abdominopelvic hemangiomatosis 1 - 3. [turkjpath.org]

Prognosis
The prognosis is similar to that of the latter tumor. [glowm.com]
Treatment and prognosis postmenopausal women: bilateral oophorectomy is suggested; however, if the patient has multiple comorbidities, then long-term GnRH agonist treatment may be an option when malignancy has been excluded premenopausal women: treatment [radiopaedia.org]

Prognosis is good for most SCT of the ovary, although malignancy has been reported in as high as 28.6- 43 % of cases [ 3, 25 ]. [omicsonline.org]
Etiology
Clinical, laboratory, radiologic and pathologic findings are presented, and a review of the literature pertaining to ovarian hyperthecosis and stromal Leydig cell tumor as etiologies of virilization is performed. [journals.lww.com]
The etiology of hyperthecosis is unknown, however evidence suggests a possibility of genetic transmission. Hyperthecosis has been documented in familiar patterns. Insulin resistance may also play a role in the pathogenesis of hyperthecosis. [en.wikipedia.org]

There are multiple etiologies, and each etiology might also be complicated by the medical condition of insulin resistance which also tends to have some relationship to the liver "fatty liver" condition, NASH. [palpath.com]

Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology of ovarian hyperthecosis remains poorly understood but the metabolic syndrome observed in most patients suggests that insulin resistance associated with high, postmenopausal LH levels, might play a role as in polycystic ovarian syndrome [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Although the exact pathophysiology is not known, disturbances in gonadotropins and reduced insulin sensitivity are known to contribute to the overproduction of androgens. [har-journal.com]
