Vaginal cysts are rare, benign, predominantly cystic lesions of the anterior vaginal wall, with a prevalence of 1 in 200 women. Large vaginal cysts can occasionally present as symptomatic genital prolapse; these cases may be challenging to diagnose due to their rare clinical appearance. In symptomatic large vaginal cysts, surgical excision via vaginal approach is the recommended management with good anatomical results and patient satisfaction. The series of three consecutive adult women were referred for bothersome bulging prolapse. They were found to have a sizeable vaginal cyst at the anterior wall, associated with other symptoms. All patients (mean age 37±8.5 years) underwent total trans-vaginal surgical excision of the lesion. They were followed up in the out-patient department at six weeks and six months with no recurrences mentioned. Vaginal cysts are usually solitary, small, and asymptomatic; however, they can increase in size, easily mimic other pathologies, and are misdiagnosed as cystocele. Therefore, complete surgical vaginal excision of the symptomatic vaginal lesion is feasible and constitutes a good management option.

In a quarter of patients with ureterovaginal fistula (UVF), a concurrent associated vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) can also be found. An increased clinical suspicion should be arised in cases of urinary vaginal discharge accompanied with unilateral flank pain following a gynecological procedure. A 43-year-old female patient diagnosed with a complex postoperative UVF and VVF following a total hysterectomy. After an unsuccessful initial conservative approach with the placement of a nephrostomy tube, an ureterocystotomy with antireflux reimplantation of the ureter was decided. The patient experienced an uneventful postoperative period and a year later, the patient remains asymptomatic without any evidence of fistula recurrent. Our case reports the relatively rare presence of a concurrent postoperative complex UVF and VVF formation in order to rise clinical suspicion in clinicians regarding the diagnostic approach and optimal management.
