Overview
Throughout the history, hirsutism has been regarded as a syndrome of male pattern hair growth, obesity and menstrual irregularity in women. Other authors considered hirsutism as masculine hair growth only. 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.
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 it 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]
