A
denoid 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.
