Endometriosis in the Bartholin Gland: A Case Report

We report a case of endometriosis infiltrating the Bartholin gland. The initial diagnosis was a Bartholin gland cyst. The diagnosis was made during the operation when chocolate-colored fluid poured into operation field. The presence of endometriosis may be considered as a diagnosis in cases with cystic mass in the Bartholin gland. It’s a rare case. Indeed, only few cases are reported in the literature. | Published in | Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics (Volume 2, Issue 5) | | DOI | 10.11648/j.jgo.20140205.12 | | Page(s) | 75-76 | | Creative Commons | This is an Open Access article, distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted use, distribution and reproduction in any medium or format, provided the original work is properly cited. | | Copyright | Copyright © The Author(s), 2014.
