Abstract

Bartholin gland carcinoma is a rare tumor. Treatment is not consensual due to the absence of prospective and randomized controlled trials. Bartholin gland carcinoma is actually treated similarly to primary median squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva. Here we report two cases of 42- and 67-year-old females who developed respectively an adenoid cystic carcinoma, and a squamous carcinoma of Bartholin gland.

Keywords: Adenoid cystic carcinoma; Bartholin gland carcinoma; Carcinome adénoïde kystique; Carcinome de la glande de Bartholin; Carcinome vulvaire; Carcinome épidermoïde; Squamous carcinoma; Vulvar carcinoma.
