Related on Lably
Gartner's duct is located in the uterus' broad ligament. Its position is parallel with the lateral uterine tube and lateral walls of vagina and cervix.
The paired mesonephric ducts in the male, in contrast, go on to form the paired epididymides, vasa deferentia, ejaculatory ducts and seminal vesicles.
In females, they may persist between the layer of the broad ligament of the uterus and in the wall of the vagina.
Clinical significance
These may give rise to Gartner's duct cysts.
