CAH (late onset): hirsuitism, testost - normal, DHEAS incr (adrenals), CT - normal
if early onset - ambiguous genitalia
Adenal tumor: virilisation, testost - normal, DHEAS - incr, CT - adrenal mass
Don't know actually why is that difference, just remember that mcc of hirsuitism is PCOS,
mcc for virilisation - tumor

virilisation, incr testost, normal DHEAS, CT - enlarged one ovary = ovarian tumor
hirsuitism, incr testost, normal DHEAS, bilat enlarged ovaries = PCOS
