The most common type of vaginal cyst are Müllerian cysts. These usually develop on the anterolateral vaginal wall. [1] This cyst can be lined with epithelium from the cervix, uterus and fallopian tubes. [21] An epithelial inclusion cyst is also referred to as epidermal inclusion cyst or squamous inclusion cyst.
Some vaginal cysts are epidermoid cysts. [3] Although they are not malignant, there are rare cases of malignant tumors arising from an epidermoid cyst. [4] Epidermal inclusion cysts account for approximately 85–95% of all excised cysts; malignant transformation is exceedingly rare.
Other structures can be present on the vaginal wall though most of the time these can be differentiated from rugae. [12] [13] Vaginal cysts can be small protrusions into the vagina that can be felt or palpated by a clinician. Vaginal inclusion cysts can appear as small bumps and can develop after childbirth. [12]

A sebaceous cyst is a term commonly used to refer to either: [1] Epidermoid cysts (also termed epidermal cysts, infundibular cyst) Pilar cysts (also termed trichelemmal cysts, isthmus-catagen cysts) Both of the above types of cysts contain keratin, not sebum, and neither originates from sebaceous glands.
Vaginal cysts can mimic other structures that protrude from the vagina such as a rectocele and cystocele. [195] Cysts that can be present include Müllerian cysts, Gartner's duct cysts, and epidermoid cysts. [198] [199] A vaginal cyst is most likely to develop in women between the ages of 30 and 40. [195]
