Abstract:
Pelvic cystic masses are frequent in women of childbearing potential and usually arise from the adnexae. The authors report a rare case of paravesical malformative cyst (Gartner cyst) with left silent kidney. In view of the unusual histology, comprising carcinoma in situ and a transitional cell papillary tumour with metastatic lymph node extension, the authors reviewed the literature on this subject and identified only one similar case (5).
