OBJECTIVE The present study was performed to explore the clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the Bartholin's gland. METHODS The clinical data of a case of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the Bartholin's gland were examined, and the clinical manifestation, diagnosis, and treatment were analyzed. RESULTS Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the Bartholin's gland has a low incidence. The main clinical manifestations are vulvar lumps, dyspareunia, pain, itching, and bleeding. The diagnosis is based on gynecological examination and pathological biopsy, and the treatment is mainly surgical excision. CONCLUSIONS Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the Bartholin's gland is rare and lacks specificity. Pathological biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosis, and surgical resection should be performed for treatment.

D003528	Carcinoma, Adenoid Cystic	Carcinoma characterized by bands or cylinders of hyalinized or mucinous stroma separating or surrounded by nests or cords of small epithelial cells. When the cylinders occur within masses of epithelial cells, they give the tissue a perforated, sievelike, or cribriform appearance. Such tumors occur in the mammary glands, the mucous glands of the upper and lower respiratory tract, and the salivary glands. They are malignant but slow-growing, and tend to spread locally via the nerves.
