Abstract

Non-Classical Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (NCCAH) due to partial 21-hydroxylase deficiency is a frequent and often underdiagnosed cause of hyperandrogenism in women. We report the case of a 39-year-old woman presenting with severe hirsutism. Hormonal evaluation revealed elevated 17-Hydroxyprogesterone (17OHP), confirmed after ACTH stimulation, consistent with NCCAH. Imaging findings were normal. This case highlights the importance of systematic screening for this condition in the evaluation of hyperandrogenism.
