title: Restoration of menstruation after chemotherapy-induced amenorrhoea in a patient with ovarian immature teratoma.
abstract: We described a rare case of a 20-year-old woman with an ovarian immature teratoma who resumed regular spontaneous menses after more than 5 years of chemotherapy-induced amenorrhoea. Efforts to reverse chemotherapy-induced ovarian failure can be continued even after persistent menstrual dysfunction of 5 or more years.
