This case report describes a patient presenting with hirsutism and elevated peripheral blood testosterone levels who was diagnosed with an endometrioid ovarian cyst. Following the surgical removal of the cyst, the patient experienced a notable improvement in hirsutism symptoms alongside a significant decrease in serum testosterone concentrations. The authors present this clinical outcome to illustrate a potential association between endometrioid ovarian pathology and hyperandrogenic features in this specific individual. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically focusing on the resolution of hyperandrogenism following the excision of an endometrioid ovarian cyst.
