Abstract:
Gartner duct cysts derive from remnants of the vaginal portion of the mesonephric (Wolffian) ducts. In cases of incomplete regression of these ducts, cysts can develop due to secretory activity [1]. Clinically, those cysts are usually asymptomatic, their size not exceeding 2 cm in diameter. In rare cases with larger cysts, the presence of dyspareunia and problems in obstetric delivery are described [2, 3]. We present a case of a histologically proven symptomatic Gartner duct cyst with a size of 16 x 15 x 8 cm. To my knowledge, this is the largest Gartner duct cyst ever reported in the imaging literature.
