Abstract:

Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the Bartholin’s gland is a rare malignant tumor of Female genital tract. Here is a report of a case of a 33-year-old woman, who presented with a swelling on the right side of vulvar region for a month. It was diagnosed as Bartholin cyst and treated with antibiotics, with not much improvement in her clinical condition. Based on examination, a solid fixed painful nodule with intact mucosa was palpated on the right side of the vulva. Histological features were compatible with adenoid cystic carcinoma. Often, such lesions are clinically misdiagnosed as cysts or inflammation. The present case was treated as Bartholins cyst initially, the possibility of malignancy should always be considered in any female with any painful nodular lesions near the Bartholin’s glands in vulvar region.
