Bartholin Gland Cancer
Bartholin gland cancer is a rare malignancy that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a labial mass. The tentative diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the Bartholin gland is based on the cytologic findings and location of the tumor. The nuclei are oval to oblong, and some cells have a peripherally displaced nucleus. The chromatinic material is slightly increased, and some nuclei have prominent nucleoli. The cytoplasm is basophilic and abundant. Microcalcifications and psammoma bodies are numerous. The prognosis is generally poor because of the aggressive metastatic tendencies of this cancer. The etiology of Bartholin gland cancer remains unknown, and No optimal plan of treatment has been established. Early detection followed by radical vulvectomy and bilateral inguinal-femoral Node dissection may improve survival.
