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]

A 70-year-old nulliparous woman presented with gradual onset of hyperandrogenism (Ferriman-Gallwey [FG] score 20) for 10 years [Figure 1] and [Figure 2]. [jmidlifehealth.org]

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]

Clinical presentation in conjunction with the imaging findings lead to a correct diagnosis in the vast majority of women presenting with hyperandrogenism. [redorbit.com]

• Hirsutism

  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]

  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]

  A score of 8 to 15 is classified as mild hirsutism, while moderate hirsutism is a score greater than 15. This patient had severe hirsutism with virilizing signs. Therefore, it was not necessary to grade her level of hirsutism. [arcfertility.com]

  Cyclosporin should be changed to tacrolimus when hirsutism occurs. Virilisation (development of male characteristics in women) occurs in less than 1% of patients with hirsutism. [hkmj.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]

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 initial MR imaging, the central areas of the bilateral ovarian masses showed hypointensity on T1-weighted images and hyperintensity on T2-weighted images, while the peripheries of the bilateral masses showed isointensity to myometrium on T1-weighted [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]

  Hysterectomy with removal of both ovaries was discussed with the patient because of the presence of bilateral ovarian masses, which required diagnosis and treatment. [arcfertility.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]
