A Case Of Mullerian Cyst Of Vulva / 대한산부인과학회잡지

ABSTRACT

The pathogenesis and origin of vulvar cyst lined by a ciliated columnar epithelium is unknown. But it is suggested that origins of the epithelium of cyst are Mullerian or Wolffian duct or urogenital sinus, while heterotopia (sequestration and migration of tissue) or dysontogenesis (defective embryonic development) or prosoplasia (abnormal development resulting in a "higher state" of organization) or metaplasia have also been suggested. We experienced one case of Mullerian cyst of vulva. So we report above the case with a brief review of literature.
