Bartholin

It is possible for the Bartholin's glands to become blocked and inflamed resulting in pain.[14] This is known as bartholinitis or a Bartholin's cyst.[9][16][17] A Bartholin's cyst in turn can become infected and form an abscess. Adenocarcinoma of the gland is rare and benign tumors and hyperplasia are even more rare.[18] Bartholin gland carcinoma[19] is a rare malignancy that occurs in 1% of vulvar cancers. This may be due to the presence of three different types of epithelial tissue.[8] Inflammation of the Skene's glands and Bartholin glands may appear similar to cystocele.[20]
