Transgender people have been experiencing significant advancements in their social visibility, although they continue to face frequent discrimination and exclusion. Among the issues encompassing transgender individuals' health care, the right to reproductive and sexual health have gained traction in the study landscape, necessitating an exploration of fertility preservation options for these patients. This report sheds light on the process of cryopreserving gametes and ovarian tissue after total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for gender reassignment in a transgender man in hormonal masculinization. The procedure resulted in the cryopreservation of three immature oocytes and ovarian tissue fragments. The objective of this study is to contribute to the promotion of knowledge and the sharing of experiences, aiming to gradually enhance the attention on reproductive health among transgender individuals.
