Hyperandrogenism is a common endocrinopathy in women. Localization of the source of excess androgen production is mandatory for proper management. Ovarian hyperandrogenism has been implicated in the majority of patients studied, though the true prevalence of adrenal hyperandrogenism is not yet known. Adrenal scintigraphy is a simple non-invasive technique which detects adrenal functional abnormalities. The detection of adrenal hyperandrogenism by adrenal scintigraphy in three women with mild hirsutism is discussed.
