Abstract
Cystic lesions of the vagina are relatively rare, and their prevalence may be underestimated due to underreporting of vaginal cysts. These lesions are classified according to their histological characteristics. A Gartner’s duct cyst, a benign variant, originates from the Gartner’s duct, which is a remnant of the mesonephric duct (Wolffian duct) in females. While these cysts are predominantly asymptomatic, they may be identified in patients presenting with pelvic organ prolapse. A comprehensive medical history, meticulous physical examination, and accurate imaging are essential for ensuring appropriate management of affected individuals.

Keywords : Gartner’s cyst; mesonephric cyst; vaginal cyst,
