Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To describe a case involving the cryopreservation of testis tissue retrieved from a 15-year-old male teenager with Klinefelter's syndrome. DESIGN: Case report. SETTING: An academic medical center. PATIENT(S): A 15-year-old boy with Klinefelter's syndrome. INTERVENTION(S): Microsurgical testis sperm extraction with cryopreservation of harvested tissue. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Spermatozoa within testis tissue. RESULT(S): Successful extraction and cryopreservation of three vials of sperm-containing testis tissue. No effect on subsequent testosterone levels. CONCLUSION(S): Testis tissue extraction in the adequately virilized but azoospermic young male with 47, XXY Klinefelter's syndrome may be a strategy to preserve future biological paternity.
