An Unusual Case of Anterior Vaginal Wall Cyst

Abstract

ABSTRACT Vaginal cysts are rare and are mostly detected as an incidental finding during a gynecological examination. Gartner duct cysts, the most common benign cystic lesion of the vagina, represent embryologic remnants of the caudal end of the mesonephric (Wolffian) duct. These cysts are usually small and asymptomatic and have been reported to occur in as many as 1% of all women. A 17-year-old unmarried girl presented with mass per vagina since one and a half year. On examination, anterior vaginal wall cyst of 8 × 4 × 3 cm was detected. Surgical excision of the cyst was done under spinal anesthesia by sharp and blunt dissection. The cyst was filled with mucoid material and histopathological examination confirmed Gartner origin. This is a rare case of large Gartner cyst.
