Gartner’s Duct Cyst Impersonating Prolapse: A Case Report
Abstract
Cystic lesions of the vagina are relatively rare, and their prevalence may be underestimated due to underreporting of vaginal cysts. These lesions are classified according to their histological characteristics. A Gartner’s duct cyst, a benign variant, originates from the Gartner’s duct, which is a remnant of the mesonephric duct (Wolffian duct) in females. While these cysts are predominantly asymptomatic, they may be identified in patients presenting with pelvic organ prolapse. A comprehensive medical history, meticulous physical examination, and accurate imaging are essential for ensuring appropriate management of affected individuals.
