Abstract
These include papilloma, fibroma, fibromyoma and neurofibroma. The commonest are cysts of the mesonephric (Gartner’s) and paramesonephric (müllerian) ducts. Paramesonephric cysts are usually single and occur in the subepithelial connective tissue of the upper vagina, with a lining similar to the cervix of the fallopian tube. Mesonephric cysts are sausage shaped and lie anterolaterally; they are lined by cubical epithelium and surrounded by smooth muscle.
