Vulvovaginal cysts are a common problem for women, causing significant pain, discomfort and impact on quality of life. For clinicians, classifying and differentiating these cysts from each other and selecting appropriate management can be challenging, yet there is no integrated classification system and little literature that broadly summarises a clinical approach. We aimed to create a useful tool for clinicians by providing a detailed summary of various vulvovaginal cysts and abscesses with a clear novel classification system and hierarchy for diagnosis and management, to aid clinicians in this process.

This paper illustrates the clinical scenario due to a particular Gartner cyst, the diagnostic workup followed for its diagnosis and its surgical management.
