Two cases of mucinous cysts of the vulva are reported. The embryology of the lower female genital tract is described, including the Müllerian duct system, cloaca and urogenital sinus. The relationship of the Wolffian duct system is also included in the discussion. It has been felt in the past that these vulvar cysts are Müllerian-derived. However, it is now deemed more plausible that they are from the entodermally-derived urogenital sinus epithelium. These cysts pose no threat to the patient but are interesting from the standpoint of embryogenesis.
报告了两例外阴黏液囊肿。描述了女性下生殖道的胚胎学,包括苗勒管系统、泄殖腔和泌尿生殖窦。讨论中还包括了沃尔夫管系统的关系。过去认为这些外阴囊肿源自苗勒管。然而,现在认为它们更可能来自内胚层来源的泌尿生殖窦上皮。这些囊肿对患者没有威胁,但从胚胎发生的角度来看很有趣。
