Gartner duct cysts derive from remnants of the vaginal portion of the mesonephric (Wolffian) ducts. In cases of incomplete regression of these ducts, cysts can develop due to secretory activity [1]. Clinically, those cysts are usually asymptomatic, their size not exceeding 2 cm in diameter. In rare cases with larger cysts, the presence of dyspareunia and problems in obstetric delivery are described [2, 3]. We present a case of a histologically proven symptomatic Gartner duct cyst with a size of 16 x 15 x 8 cm. To my knowledge, this is the largest Gartner duct cyst ever reported in the imaging literature.
加特纳管囊肿起源于中肾(沃尔夫管)管阴道部的残余组织。在这些管道不完全退化的情况下,由于分泌活动可形成囊肿[1]。临床上,这些囊肿通常无症状,直径不超过2厘米。在罕见的囊肿较大的情况下,会出现性交困难和产科分娩问题[2,3]。我们报告一例经组织学证实的有症状的加特纳管囊肿病例,其大小为16×15×8厘米。据我所知,这是影像学文献中报道的最大的加特纳管囊肿。
