The differential diagnosis for benign vaginal cysts is broad including Müllerian or Gartner's (mesonephric) ducts, Skene duct, Bartholin gland, epidermal inclusion, or endometriotic cysts, adenosis, or urethral diverticulum (1,2). Most are secondary to embryological remnants or trauma (3). Müllerian ducts form the fallopian tubes, broad ligament, uterus, cervix and upper part of the vagina. Müllerian epithelium is replaced with squamous epithelium of the urogenital sinus; however, Müllerian epithelium can persist anywhere along the vaginal wall. Thus, Müllerian cysts can be found at any location in the vagina (4). During vaginal cyst work-up, imaging can be helpful to further differentiate the cyst and aid in surgical planning. Our patient had an in-office translabial ultrasound that revealed a fluid filled vaginal cyst that had possible bladder connection.
