A 29-year-old woman came to the outpatient clinic with complaints of chronic pelvic pain and dyspareunia. Her physical examination was normal. Her blood work and laboratory investigations were within normal range. Ultrasonography revealed a cystic mass posterior to vagina and uterus. Computed tomography (CT scan) showed an oblong structure with fluid density contents (Fig. 1). Patient had a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan which revealed a large 10 × 9 × 4 cm cystic structure posterior to the uterus, originating along the posterior vaginal wall, representing Gartner duct cyst (Fig. 2a, b). The cyst was excised, and benignity of the lesion was confirmed by a histologic study. The diagnosis was consistent with Gartner duct cyst.
