A 5 year-old, intact female Yorkshire terrier was referred
for dysuria and dyschezia. The radiographic and
ultrasound examination showed a round shaped mass caudal
to the urinary bladder that contained anechoic fluid
within the thin walls. During surgery, the cyst was noted
to be attached to the outer wall of the vagina, not connected
to the vaginal lumen. Cystic fluid was removed and
the cystic wall was resected. Then the remaining cystic
wall was omentalized to prevent a recurrence.
Histological examination confirmed that the cyst was of
Wolffian duct origin. In this case, a large Gartner duct
cyst causing urological problems was diagnosed and removed
by surgical resection.
