Postmenopausal ovarian hyperandrogenism of surgically treated patients: a case report and scoping review with individual patient's data analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Postmenopausal hyperandrogenism (PH) is a rare clinical condition caused by relative or absolute androgen excess after menopause. Tumorous or non-tumorous ovarian diseases can cause PH.

Methods

In this two-section hybrid study, the first section describes the case of a patient with PH caused by an ovarian disease and surgically treated. The second section shows the results of a scoping review with individual patient data (IPD) analysis, which was performed to define the biochemical and clinical features of PH patients with tumorous or non-tumorous ovarian diseases surgically treated. All PH cases caused by anything but ovarian disease and/or without surgical indication and/or without histological diagnosis were excluded.
