{{Main|Mesonephric duct remnant}}
===General===
Epidemiology:
*Embryological remnant - benign.
**Wolffian duct = precursor of male reproductive tract.<ref name=pmid16567946>{{cite journal |author=Hannema SE, Print CG, Charnock-Jones DS, Coleman N, Hughes IA |title=Changes in gene expression during Wolffian duct development |journal=Horm. Res. |volume=65 |issue=4 |pages=200–9 |year=2006 |pmid=16567946 |doi=10.1159/000092408 |url=}}</ref>
 
Notes:
*This is ''not'' a finding that is reported.  The importance of this finding is knowing it isn't something neoplastic.
*Lame way of remember the synonyms ''Gartner, Mesonephric, and Wolffian'': ''GMW''... it is trying to be a ''BMW'' but in ''g''irls.
 
===Microscopic===
Features:<ref>Sternberg SE. Histology for Pathologists. 2nd Ed. P.893.</ref>
*Small duct -- typically ~50-100 micrometres in diameter.
**Duct lined by cuboidal cells with moderate eosinophilic cytoplasm.
DDx:
*[[Cervical adenocarcinoma]], not otherwise specified.
*[[Mesonephric adenocarcinoma]] - has cellular atypia.
*[[Wolffian duct hyperplasia]].
*[[Vaginal inclusion cyst]].

{{Main|Walthard cell rest}}
*Benign.
 
====Epidemiology====
*Thought to be related to [[Brenner tumour]].
 
===Microscopic===
Features:<ref name=Ref_GP332>{{Ref_GP|332}}</ref>
*Collection of eosinophilic (i.e. pink) cuboidal cells; usually solid, may be cystic.
*Elliptical nucleus with single groove along major axis; "coffee bean" nucleus -- '''key feature'''.
 
Location:
*Usually in soft tissue of the uterine tube.
