To the Editor: Studies in animals and humans have shown that cryopreserved ovarian tissue can be transplanted successfully.^1,2,3,4 We report the successful transplantation of frozen, banked autologous ovarian tissue according to a protocol approved by the institutional review board at our center.

The patient was a 29-year-old woman who had undergone a right salpingo-oophorectomy and wedge resection of the left ovary at the age of 17 years in order to remove dermoid cysts. Exercise-induced hypothalamic amenorrhea developed in her early 20s. At the age of 28 years, a left salpingo-oophorectomy was performed because of intractable menometrorrhagia. At that time, multiple . . . [Full Text of this Article]
