背景技术背景：Gartner管囊肿是胚胎残留的中肾管，可能会出现阴道肿块或cyst.CASE：一个病人被称为手术治疗脱垂的前阴道膨出实际上是一个Gartner管囊肿，需要切除作为一个结果的症状。术前磁共振成像有助于确诊。结论：Gartner管囊肿可能表现为阴道囊肿，如果大，可能模仿盆腔器官脱垂。当患者的个别脱垂间隔不一致或体格检查提示其他过程时，应考虑诊断。
BACKGROUND: Gartner duct cysts are embryologic remnants of the mesonephric ducts that may present as a vaginal mass or cyst.CASE: A patient was referred for surgical management of prolapse whose bulging anterior vagina was actually a Gartner duct cyst that required excision as a result of symptoms. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging helped confirm the diagnosis.CONCLUSION: A Gartner duct cyst may present as a vaginal cyst that, if large, may mimic pelvic organ prolapse. The diagnosis should be considered when a patient's individual prolapse compartments are inconsistent or when physical examination is suggestive of another process.
