Adenoid cystic carcinoma of Bartholin’s gland diagnosed after lung lobectomy: Review of the literature and a case presentation
Journal Title: Turkish Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology - Year 2020, Vol 17, Issue 4
Abstract
Bartholin’s gland was first identified in human female in 1675 by Caspar Bartholin. The Bartholin gland is composed of several epithelial types: The body is mucinous acini, the duct is predominantly transitional epithelium, and the orifice is the squamous epithelium. Primary carcinoma of the bartholin’s gland is an uncommon neoplasm. Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of bartholin gland carcinom is a rare variant of bartholin gland carcinoma, comprising 15% of all bartholin gland malignancies. ACC of the Bartholin’s gland is characterized by slow growth so recurrence and distant metastases can take a long period. So distant metastasis has been found in only a few cases to the lungs, liver, bone and brain. Here, we present the case of Bartholin’s gland ACC after four years follow up and presented with a lung metastasis.
