Abstract

Carcinomas of Bartholin's gland are rare tumors that account for less than 1% of all gynecological malignancies. Two major histological types, squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma, account for 80% to 90% of primary cases. The remainders are adenosquamous carcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma and so on. We experienced a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the Bartholin's gland managed by wide local excision and chemotherapy with cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). We present this case with a brief review of the literatures.
