Virilism is a condition resulting from excessive production or exposure to androgens (male hormones), leading to the development of masculine characteristics. This can include deepening of the voice, increased body hair growth, and enlargement of the clitoris in females. It is not caused by overactivity of the pituitary gland, hyperthyroidism, or result in acromegaly (enlargement of bones in the face, hands, and feet, typically caused by excessive growth hormone production).
