Sonographic findings in Bartholin's gland hamartoma

J Clin Ultrasound. 1998 Nov-Dec;26(9):465-9. doi: 10.1002/(sici)1097-0096(199811/12)26:9<465::aid-jcu6>3.0.co;2-l.

Abstract

We report the case of a postmenopausal patient presenting with bilateral solid Bartholin's gland lesions. The clinical and sonographic features suggested a nonaggressive process, allowing the surgeon to choose excisional biopsy of 1 of the lesions rather than radical excision to establish the diagnosis of a Bartholin's gland hamartoma. To our knowledge, this is the first sonographic description of a benign solid Bartholin's gland lesion.
