29-year-old with dyspareunia and vulvar mass: An unusual diagnosis of Bartholin's gland carcinoma

Vulvar cancer, including primary Bartholin's gland carcinoma, affects approximately 6190 women yearly with 1200 deaths in 2018 (Siegel et al., 2018). Of these, 0.1% – 7% are Bartholin's gland in origin (Bhalwal et al., 2016; Cardosi et al., 2001). Adenoid cystic carcinoma is an uncommon variant of Bartholin's gland carcinomas, accounting for 10–15% of Bartholin's gland malignancies, with fewer than 90 cases described (Alsan et al., 2011; Bhalwal et al., 2016). Adenoid cystic carcinoma is more commonly a salivary tumor. Here we present a case of a 29-year-old multigravida with dyspareunia found to have adenoid cystic carcinoma of the Bartholin's gland.
