Gartner duct cyst, TVS, Wolffian ductAbstract
Gartner duct cysts are remnants of the Wolffian duct. They are located in the anterior or lateral wall of vagina and may be associated with renal and ureteral anomalies. We present a case report of 28 years old primigravida with 28 weeks gestational age with complaint of a mass protruding through vagina. A diagnosis of Gartner duct cyst was made by the location of the cyst, TVS and histopathological examination following excision of the cyst.
