This 2014 report describes endometriosis that presented as a Bartholin gland cyst, with authors presenting a clinical case consistent with isolated disease in the Bartholin gland. The high-level approach is case-based description, with diagnosis supported by the paper’s referenced endometriosis clinical literature rather than a large cohort or randomized methods. A key limitation is that the work is a single-case style publication, which inherently cannot establish incidence or generalizable diagnostic accuracy. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically endometriosis presenting in the Bartholin gland as a cyst.

Abstract

We presented an extremely rare form of endometriosis presenting as a Bartholin gland cyst. A 39-year-old woman, gravida 2 para 2, experienced an enlarging mass of the left labium majus. Cystectomy was performed and histopathologic examination confirmed the presence of endometriosis. One year after operation, the patient is symptom free with no signs of cyst recurrence. Bartholin gland endometriosis should be kept in mind when women of reproductive age have a diagnosis of Bartholin cyst.
