Abstract:
Hirsutism is a relatively common disorder which affects approximately 5% to 15% of women. It is defined by excessive growth of terminal hair in women, which primarily affects areas dependent on androgens, such as the face, abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. Hirsutism can be caused by a variety of etiologies, which are most often not lifethreatening. However, in some cases, hirsutism can be an indicator of more serious underlying pathology, such as a neoplasm, which may require further elucidation with imaging. Within the abdomen and pelvis, adrenal and ovarian pathologies are the primary consideration. The goal of this manuscript is to review the etiologies and imaging features of various intra-abdominal and intra-pelvic causes of hirsutism.
摘要:
多毛症是一种相对常见的疾病,影响约5%至15%的女性。它的定义是女性的终毛过度生长,主要影响依赖雄激素的地区,比如脸,腹部,臀部,和大腿。多毛症可以由多种病因引起,通常不会危及生命。然而,在某些情况下,多毛症可能是更严重的潜在病理的指标,比如肿瘤,这可能需要通过成像进一步阐明。在腹部和骨盆内,肾上腺和卵巢病变是首要考虑因素。本手稿的目的是回顾多毛症的各种腹内和骨盆内原因的病因和影像学特征。
