Gartner’s duct cysts are vaginal cyst that can develop along parts of the mesonephric duct (Wolffian duct), when the duct has failed to regress. The remnant of the mesonephric duct is known as Gartner duct. Gartner’s duct cyst associated some renal anomalies, such as renal agenesis, ipsilaterally renal dysplasia, cross fused renal ectopia. The ectopic ureter opening into the Gartner’s duct cyst is a very rare congenital malformation. In this case we describe a 41 years old woman with complete duplex collecting system on the left kidney and ectopic ureter which draining the lower part of the left kidney opens into Gartner’s duct cyst. The patient recently underwent a partial nephrectomy due to infection and grade IV hydronephrosis in lower part of the left kidney. During the control ultrasound examination after partial nephrectomy, cyst and tubular structure was found in the left side of pelvis.
