Abstract

Gartner duct cysts are the remnants of the Wolffian duct and they are rarely seen in adulthood. We present a case of a pregnant patient with a prolapsing vaginal mass. A diagnosis of Gartner duct cyst was made after MRI was performed. The Gartner duct cyst was drained when the patient went into labour allowing vaginal delivery to be performed. © 2007 Biomedical Imaging and Intervention Journal. All rights reserved.

  • Figure 2 Axial STIR MR image shows a well-defined cystic mass (thin arrows) lying posterior to the gravid uterus (thick arrows).
  • Figure 3 Coronal T2-weighted image shows the cyst (black arrows) lying lateral to the cervical os (block arrow). The fetal brain (asterisk) is seen within the uterus.
