Objectives: To present a series of four cases of Gartner cysts and their clinical presentation. A bibliographic review was performed.
Methods: The series consisted of 4 women, mean age 39, who complained of a bulge at the anterior vaginal wall, associated with a variety of urinary symptoms.
Results: Surgical removal was performed in all cases. The pathological studies confirmed the diagnosis of Gartner cyst. There were no recurrences in the long-term follow-up.
Conclusion: Vaginal wall cysts are rarely found in common urological practice. Gartner cysts arise as a consequence of the Gartner duct (mesonephric remainder) obstruction and they are located in the anterior or lateral wall of the vagina. They may be associated with renal and ureteral anomalies. Differential diagnosis with other vaginal cysts can only be made by histological studies. The correct treatment is the entire removal through a vaginal approach.

Objective: The objective of this video is to review a case of a patient that presented to urogynecology clinic for prolapse but was noted to have anterior vaginal cyst. In this video, we review differential diagnosis, embryologic origin of vaginal cyst, excision procedure, imaging, and pathology of the vaginal cyst.
Setting: Urogynecology clinic/operating room PARTICIPANT: Patient who presented with anterior vaginal cyst INTERVENTION: Thirty-four-year-old G0 referred to Urogynecology for a vaginal bulge.
Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical outcomes of mucous cystectomy and osteophytectomy using a random nonadvancement flap technique.
Methods: This was a therapeutic outcomes study of patients who underwent mucous cystectomy under local anesthesia by 1 of 2 hand fellowship-trained surgeons between 2012 and 2022. The key features of the surgical technique include designing a random nonadvancement flap with the cyst at its base; transecting the cyst pedicle as the flap is elevated; resecting the cyst wall from the undersurface of the reflected flap; decompressing the distal joint by removing marginal osteophytes; and insetting the flap without advancement.

Vulvar leiomyoma is rare and is often misdiagnosed as a cyst or abscess in the Bartholin's glands. Other causes of benign tumours of the vulva are Gartner's duct cysts, fibromas, fibroadenomas, lipomas and hamartomas. Adenoma was the tentative diagnosis is this case history, but the histology showed a benign leiomyoma.

Article Synopsis
- Vaginal pathologies are significant causes of genital tract symptoms in women and are often overlooked with standard transabdominal ultrasonography; transperineal USG and MRI are preferred for detailed evaluation.
- Conditions affecting different age groups include congenital anomalies in children and young adults, such as vaginal septum and atresia, while adults commonly experience benign lesions and malignant tumors, like squamous cell carcinoma.
- Understanding imaging features of these vaginal diseases is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment planning, particularly after interventions like radiotherapy, which alters the vagina's morphology.
