Bartholin gland carcinoma is a rare tumor that constitutes 2-7% of all vulvar cancers. We presented a 40-years-old multipara who presented to the outpatient Gynecologic clinic of the JFK Maternity Hospital with a complaint of painful vulvar swelling of 3 years duration. The swelling began as a small lump on the left labium majus and grew overtime becoming increasingly painful, ulcerated with associated bleeding and malodorous discharge. Her last sexual activity was 2 years ago, of which she experienced dyspareunia but no post coital bleeding. Vulva examination revealed an ulcerated fungating lesion involving the left labium majus and minus, firm, tender, extending 2 cm into left vaginal wall and lower aspect of the right labium minus. The diagnosis of Bartholin gland carcinoma was made with Bartholin gland abscess and Vulvar cancer as differentials. Preoperative Fine Needle biopsy (FNA) showed acute on chronic inflammation of the Bartholin gland. A left hemivulvectomy was done and specimen was sent for histology, which revealed locally invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the Bartholin gland. Patient recovery was uneventful and she was discharged home 2 weeks post operatively on supplements and advised to follow up for chemotherapy.
