Gartner's Duct Cyst Typical Location

Gartner's duct, also known as the Wolffian duct or mesonephric duct, is a remnant from fetal development.

Cysts can form from these ductal remnants within the pelvic region.

Based on anatomical studies and clinical observations:

  • Gartner's duct remnants are typically found along the lateral walls of the vagina.
  • Cysts arising from these remnants are most frequently identified in the anterolateral wall of the vagina.

Therefore, the usual location for a Gartner's duct cyst is the anterolateral aspect of the vaginal wall.
