Gartner’s duct cyst in recurrent vaginal infection: A case report
Abstract
Gartner’s duct cysts are benign lesions that arise from the remnant of the Wolffian duct, which, in females supposed to regress and form a vaginal inclusion cyst. Gartner’s duct cyst mostly came without any symptoms. It was found during a pelvic examination, which is commonly on the anterolateral side of the proximal vaginal wall and is usually small, with a diameter of less than 2 cm. We present a 29-year-old multiparous woman with a chief complaint of a vaginal mass protruding, causing vaginal discomfort and recurrent vaginal discharge. The examination found a vaginal cyst measuring 3 × 3 cm on the anterolateral aspect of the vagina, with a milky white discharge found in the vaginal canal. A transvaginal ultrasound found a hypoechoic appearance at the vaginal wall, suggesting a vaginal cyst. The patient then underwent surgical excision with a histopathology result consistent with the Gartner duct cyst characteristics.
