Abstract

Introduction: Gartner cysts are typically small and asymptomatic, often discovered incidentally. The present case report describes a rare instance of a large symptomatic Gartner cyst in a 30-year-old female, highlighting the clinical implications of such a rare presentation. Case Presentation: A 30-year-old female presented with a significant vaginal swelling that developed postpartum and persisted for three years. The cyst, measuring 9 cm, caused considerable discomfort, affecting her daily activities and quality of life. Due to financial constraints, advanced imaging was not performed. Surgical intervention was undertaken, leading to the successful removal of the cyst and resolution of symptoms. Histopathological examination confirmed the cyst as a mesonephric remnant. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of considering Gartner cysts in differential diagnoses for vaginal swellings, especially when they present with significant symptoms. Surgical excision proved to be an effective treatment, leading to symptom resolution and an improved quality of life for the patient.
