چکیده

artner duct cysts, the most common benign cystic lesion of the vagina, represent embryologic remnants of the caudal end of the mesonephric (wolffian) duct.1 These cysts are usually small and asymptomatic and have been reported to occur in as many as 1% of all women.1,2 Because the ureteral bud also develops from the wolffian duct, it is not surprising that Gartner duct cysts have been associated with ureteral and renal abnormalities, including congenital ipsilateral renal dysgenesis or agenesis, crossed fused renal ectopia, and ectopic ureters.1,3–7 In addition, associated anomalies of the female genital tract, including structural uterine anomalies (ipsilateral müllerian duct obstruction, bicornuate uteri, and uterus didelphys) and diverticulosis of the fallopian tubes, have been described.6,8,9 Transabdominal and transrectal ultrasonographic depiction of Gartner duct cysts have been reported previously.2,5,7,10 Here we report the transvaginal ultrasonographic findings of this condition.
