What is it about?
Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the Bartholin gland is a rare tumor representing 10-15% of Bartholin gland cancers, characterized by slow growth and unpredictable evolution. They pose a problem of differential diagnosis with Bartholin's gland cysts and abscesses.

Why is it important?
Treatment is based essentially on vulvectomy and inguino-femoral curage. We report a case of cystic adenoid carcinoma of Bartholin's gland discovered in a 38 year-old patient following a marsupliation indicated for a cyst of Bartholin's gland, which was treated by partial vulvectomy and bilateral inguino-femoral curage.
Perspectives
Bartholinian gland carcinoma (BGC) is an extremely rare malignant tumor. It accounts for less than 5% of vulvar carcinomas and less than 1% of all gynaecological cancers [1]. CGB can originate from either the canal or the vestibular.
