Abstract
<h3>Background</h3> This report describes the detection of Hodgkin lymphoma within ovarian tissue removed for fertility preservation and emphasises the importance of histological examination of ovarian tissue prior to freezing <h3>Aims</h3> To describe the detection of Hodgkin lymphoma within ovarian tissue taken at the time of harvest for cryopreservation. <h3>Methods</h3> Case report. Laparoscopic removal of ovarian tissue for cryopreservation. Histological and immunohistochemical evaluation of ovarian tissue harvested for fertility preservation. <h3>Results</h3> Histological and immunohistochemical identification of Hodgkin lymphoma within ovarian tissue harvested for cryopreservation. <h3>Conclusions</h3> Ovarian cryopreservation and subsequent autograft-ing is a procedure still in an experimental phase which has yielded promising findings. This option is frequently offered to young women with neoplasms such as Hodgkin lymphoma. Although the risk of Hodgkin lymphoma infiltration into the ovary may be low, the identification of lymphoma in this case within the ovarian tissue indicates there is the possibility of reintroducing tumour.
