Abstract

Bartholin gland cysts are common masses in the vulvar region that can range from asymptomatic to large and infected, requiring treatment [1]. In this case report, we wanted to discuss a case of a large Bartholin gland cyst that presented with painful genital swelling to our clinic and its treatment. A woman in perimenopausal age presented with a large mass in the vulva, and physical examination revealed an 18x10 cm mass originating from the left labia minora. MRI confirmed the mass, and the initial diagnosis was Bartholin gland cyst. The cyst was surgically excised totally under the operating room conditions and sent for histopathological examination. Although Bartholin gland cysts can present in various sizes and clinical features, cysts of this size are rare and can be confused with malignant masses.
