Abstract
Paraurethral glands and ducts are the rudimentary female homologues of the prostate, which empty into the vaginal vestibule near the urethral meatus. The two largest ducts are referred to as Skene’s ducts. Skene’s duct cysts are rare across all age groups and are only noticed when they cause complications such as dysuria. The causes of Skene’s duct cysts include duct obstruction due to infection, inflammation, or cystic degeneration of embryonic remnants of the paraurethral glands. In this case report, the authors present the findings of a 50-year-old female who had a painless swelling in the left labial region for a duration of three years. Upon local examination, a pedunculated swelling measuring 6x2.8 cm was observed in the left labia minora. The entire swelling, including the pedicle, was excised under regional anaesthesia through a vertical elliptical incision. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis, and the patient experienced complete satisfaction and relief from her symptoms.
