Overview
Throughout the history hirsutism has been regarded as a syndrome of hair growth in women in a male pattern , obesity and menstural irregularity (Apert, 1910) . Other authors considered hirsutism as masculine hair growth only(Howard and Whitehill, 1937; Glass and Bergman, 1938). Hirsutism has been the most outstanding symptom in virilism and masculinization and also the major feature of adreno-genital syndrome which was introduced in 1905 by Bulloch and Sequiera.[1]
Historical Perspective
- In 1905, Bulloch and Sequeira were the first to report cases about prepubertal virilizing changes due to adrenal cortex lesions.[2]
- In 1910, DR. Apert used the term of "Adrenal virilism" for the hirsutism disease. In 1912, Dr. Gallais named it as "Adreno-genital syndrome".[2]
- 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.[2]
