Overview
In the course of the history, hirsutism has been described as a syndrome of male pattern hair growth, obesity and menstrual irregularity in women. Some authors described hirsutism as masculine hair growth only. However, in 1905 Bulloch and Sequiera described in detail and association of hirsutism between virilism, and masculinization along with the principal function of adreno-genital syndrome.
Historical Perspective
- In 1905, Bulloch and Sequeira were the first to report cases about prepubertal virilizing changes due to adrenal cortex lesions.[1]
- In 1910, DR. Apert used the term of "Adrenal virilism" for the hirsutism disease.
- In 1912, Dr. Gallais named hirsutism as "Adreno-genital syndrome".[1]
- Between 1933 and 1953, Dr. Broster and Vines held various studies on the adreno-genital syndrome. Dr. Broster described the adreno-genital syndrome as it may include hirsutism before or after puberty and include also cushing syndrome.[1][2]
