Question

Wolffian duct remnant in female is

• A. Pouch of Douglas
• B. Uterovesical pouch
• C. Gartner’s cyst
• D. Broad ligament

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The Wolffian duct, also known as the mesonephric duct, is a structure found in the embryonic development of both males and females. In males, it develops into structures such as the epididymis, vas deferens, and seminal vesicles, due to the influence of male hormones. In females, where these hormones are not present to the same degree, the Wolffian duct largely regresses. However, remnants of the Wolffian duct can persist in females and one of the most notable remnants is known as Gartner's duct. These remnants can sometimes form cysts, called Gartner's cysts, along the lateral walls of the vagina.

In conclusion, the Wolffian duct remnant in females is Gartner’s cyst.
