Gartner's cyst (Gartner cyst) refers to the cyst around the hymen and clitoris, derived from the residual terminal part of the mesonephric duct. It is common in newborns and occurs around the clitoris, labia minora, and vaginal orifice, being a semi-transparent small cyst with thin walls. This disease usually subsides within a few weeks after birth, and if the cyst grows larger or causes pain, treatment is first performed by puncturing with a small needle to aspirate the fluid, and surgery can only be performed after confirmation.
Gartner's cyst is a semi-transparent small cyst, appearing at the vaginal orifice, and should be distinguished from vaginal hydrosalpinx. The cyst wall of the hymen cyst is covered with a single layer of cuboidal or columnar epithelium, occasionally with stratified squamous epithelium, and sometimes different types of epithelium can be seen at different parts of the cyst wall. This disease usually subsides within a few weeks after birth, and if the cyst grows larger or causes pain, treatment is first performed by puncturing with a small needle to aspirate the fluid, and surgery can only be performed after confirmation. For those with vaginal hydrosalpinx, the hymen is incised.
