Abstract
Premature ovarian failure as a consequence of childhood cancer treatment is considered permanent when present long after the initial insult. We report spontaneous recovery of ovarian function occurring 8 years after bone marrow transplantation in a girl with history of leukemia and growth hormone deficiency. Clinical management challenges are discussed.
