Are all vulvar masses Bartholin cysts? A series of cases.

Introduction: While vulvar masses are not prevalent in society, they are one of the reasons for complaints that arise during visits to gynecology outpatient clinics. An excision is typically necessary for both the purpose of diagnosing and treating the condition.

Methods: We documented three exceptional instances with distinct histopathological diagnoses and varying presentations, as well as a consecutive series of five patients, including one Bartholin abscess and one labia major abscess.

Impact of an Outpatient Word Catheter Program for Bartholin cysts and abscesses: A retrospective cohort study.

Objective: To assess the impact of an Outpatient Word Catheter Program (OWCP) on outcomes in women presenting with Bartholin cysts or abscesses (BC/BAs). .

Methods: This retrospective cohort study reviewed 408 women presenting with BC/BAs to our tertiary unit from 2017-2022.

Metastatic Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of the Bartholin Gland.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the Bartholin gland is an exceedingly rare neoplasm. A 56-year-old woman with remote ACC resection (plus neoadjuvant chemoradiation and adjuvant chemotherapy) presented to an outside institution with shortness of breath. CT showed bilateral pulmonary nodules and mediastinal lymphadenopathy.

Case series on the management and outcomes of Bartholin gland carcinoma.

Objective: To evaluate the management and outcomes of Bartholin gland cancer at a single tertiary institution.

Study Design: A single institution retrospective review of 9 cases of BGC between 2004 and 2022 was conducted. Demographics, pathological characteristics, treatment, follow up and oncologic outcomes were extracted from clinical records.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the Bartholin's gland is underpinned by MYB- and MYBL1- rearrangements.

Objective: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC) of the Bartholin's gland (AdCC-BG) is a very rare gynecologic vulvar malignancy. AdCC-BGs are slow-growing but locally aggressive and are associated with high recurrence rates. Here we sought to characterize the molecular underpinning of AdCC-BGs.

Management of primary and recurrent Bartholin's gland carcinoma: A systematic review on behalf of MITO Rare Cancer Group.

Bartholin gland carcinoma is an extremely rare disease. Information regarding treatment is scarce and there is no strict consensus on best practice. All studies reporting cases of Bartholin's gland cancer were screened and evaluated for inclusion.

Primary clear cell carcinoma of the vulva: A case report.

Clear cell carcinoma (CCC) of the vulva is extremely rare. We report a case of a 54-year-old woman who presented with a 5 cm mass of the mons pubis. She underwent needle biopsy demonstrating CCC.

Bartholin Duct Cyst and Nodular Hyperplasia: A Clinicopathological Study of 32 Patients.

: Inflammatory lesions and cysts are the most common Bartholin glands pathologic diagnoses. There have been very few reports of benign solid lesions of Bartholin glands such as nodular hyperplasia. : Thirty-two lesions diagnosed as Bartholin duct cyst in the gynecologic specialized institute were reviewed by two expert gynecological pathologists.

Leiomyoma presenting as an anterior vaginal mass.

Leiomyoma, otherwise known as a fibroid, is commonly encountered in the uterus. Vaginal leiomyomas are extremely rare with a relative paucity of cases reported in the literature. Due to the rarity of the disease and complexity of the vaginal anatomy, definitive diagnosis and treatment are challenging.

Bartholin's gland carcinoma-the diagnostic and management challenges of a rare malignancy-a case report and review of current literature.

Background: Bartholin's gland carcinoma (BGC) accounts for approximately 5% of all vulval malignancies-making it an extremely rare malignancy of the female genital tract. It commonly manifests as a painless unilateral mass, near the introitus. BGC more commonly occurs in post-menopausal women.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma of Bartholin's gland, a case report with genomic data and literature review.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the Bartholin's gland (ACCBG) is a rare, slowly but aggressive malignancy. We reported the case of a 31-year-old woman who was treated by local excision and then hemi-vulvectomy, with positive margins and perineural invasion. Radiation therapy (RT) was then performed delivering 45Gy in 25 fractions in bilateral inguinal lymph nodes and 64.

Nonsquamous Malignancies of Vagina and Vulva: 23-Year Experience at a Tertiary Center in the United Kingdom.

Under 10% of gynaecological cancers are diagnosed in the vulva and vagina, mostly squamous cell carcinomas. Melanoma, Paget disease, basal cell carcinomas, and other cancers can present with vulval/vaginal symptoms. The pathology information system of a tertiary referral center for vulvo-vaginal cancers was searched for cancers of the vulva and vagina from 1996 to 2019.

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical vulvectomy for adenoid cystic carcinoma of Bartholin's gland: a case report.

Background: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the Bartholin's gland is a rare cancer of the female genital tract for which there is no consensus on treatment. As there are no current reports on neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery for this disease, our case explores the effectiveness of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Case Description: We report a case of ACC of Bartholin's gland.

Analysis of clinical outcomes of patients with primary rare carcinoma of Bartholin gland: six case series report and review of the literature.

Background: Bartholin gland carcinoma (BGC) is an unusual malignancy representing less than 5% of all vulval carcinomas. Due to the limited published information on the diagnosis and treatment of BGC, this tumor is prone to misdiagnosis; most cases are found in an advanced stage once the diagnosis is delayed.

Methods: This was a retrospective study of six patients with BGC in the West China Second University Hospital between January 2011 to August 2021.

A rare case of benign vulvovaginal leiomyoma: Case report and literature review.

Introduction: Smooth muscle tumors of the vulva are more difficult to diagnose and are frequently mistaken as Bartholin cysts prior to surgery.

Case Presentation: A 41-year-old female presented with a left vulvar mass that increased in size compared to the previous year. The patient had normal urination and a regular menstrual cycle.

Vaginal leiomyoma mimicking a Cystocele (report case).

Introduction And Importance: Leiomyoma, known as a disease of the uterus, composed of spindle-shaped smooth muscle fibers and collagenous stroma, is rarely encountered in other sites especially in the vagina.

Case Presentation: We report, here, an exceptional case of a vaginal leiomyoma situated in the anterior vaginal wall suggesting in the first place a cystocele. The MRI objectified a rounded formation of the anterior wall of the vagina with regular contours highly suggestive of a vaginal leimyoma.

Experience with nutraceutical supplements in the treatment of pelvic pain in gynaecology: case reports.

Three women with diverse gynaecological medical histories (one with endometriosis, one having had an episiotomy and obstetric anal sphincter injury during a recent delivery, and one having had a recent cystectomy of the left Bartholin gland) developed acute episodes of gynaecological pelvic pain. In each case, clinical investigations (including objective tools for assessing the source, nature and severity of the pain) were conducted early on, and a multimodal approach to therapy was introduced to control the pain and avoid central sensitization or chronicity. The multimodal approach included hormone therapy, antineuropathic medications, and corticosteroid or botulinum neurotoxin infiltrations in some of the patients according to their medical conditions but consistently included behavioural adjustments, physical interventions and a nutraceutical supplement (alpha-lipoic acid, palmitoylethanolamide and myrrh).
