A member asked:
Can some pituitary tumors cause hyperandrogenism in women and if so which kind?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pituitary tumor: Some pituitary gland tumors secrete excess levels of ACTH which causes Cushing's syndrome. Hirsuitism and acne can occur with this syndrome, but I'm unsure whether testosterone levels are elevated. I would defer to an endocrinologist for an answer to this question.
