Embryonic cysts of the broad ligament are caused by the persistence of the paramesonephric ducts in the female body. these ducts are normally present during the early stages of development and should regress as the fetus matures. in some cases, however, these ducts remain and form cysts that can become filled with fluid and cause pain and discomfort. if left untreated, these cysts can cause complications such as infection, bleeding, and infertility.
