Vaginal cysts are uncommon and frequently diagnosed incidentally. A 20-year-old nulliparous woman, presented at her gynecologist for a routine appointment. An asymptomatic cystic mass on the posterior vaginal wall was found during physical examination. Surgical excision of the cyst was performed and pathological examination revealed a Mullerian cyst. These cysts usually arise at the level of cervix and extend anteriorly in relation to bladder, but very rarely they may also appear posteriorly. This paper illustrates a rare case of a posterior vaginal wall cyst of Mullerian origin
