Which name describes the rare postmenopausal condition with diabetes and androgen overproduction?

• A. PIH
• B. HS
• C. Folliculitis
• D. Achard Thiers syndrome

Answer: (D)

Achard-Thiers syndrome is the name for a rare postmenopausal syndrome that combines diabetes mellitus with androgen overproduction leading to virilization. This pattern—new virilization signs in a woman after menopause along with diabetes—points to an androgen-secreting tumor, usually of ovarian or adrenal origin. The other options don’t describe this specific combination of postmenopausal diabetes plus excess androgens, so they don’t fit the clinical picture.
