Skene Duct Cyst
Key Points
Skene duct cysts form if the duct is obstructed, usually because the gland is infected. Cysts may form abscesses and/or cause recurrent UTIs. Most are small and asymptomatic; large cysts may cause dyspareunia. Diagnose Skene duct cysts by pelvic examination and, if needed, by ultrasonography or cystoscopy. Excise or marsupialize symptomatic cysts, and treat abscesses with broad-spectrum antibiotics and excision or marsupialization.
