Prolapsed vaginal mullerian cyst masquerading as utero-vaginal prolapse: a case report
Abstract
Background:A 20 year old para 2, presented at our gynaecological clinic with a 4 year history of “something protruding from her vagina”. She was referred to us with a diagnosis of utero-vaginal prolapse. Examination revealed a 6x6 cm, cystic, anterior vaginal wall mass, which was confirmed to be a vaginal cyst on ultrasound. Surgical excision of the cyst was done and histopathology confirmed it was of mullerian origin. Vaginal mullerian cysts are usually small and asymptomatic, but may rarely enlarge as reported in this case. They are therefore important in the differential diagnosis of utero-vaginal prolapse or cystocele.
