Abstract

Gartner's duct cysts are benign lesions that arise from the remnant of the Wolffian duct that 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 proximate 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 sized 3 × 3 cm on the anterolateral aspect of the vagina with a milky white discharge found in the vaginal canal. 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.
