  • Title: Liver metastasis in a case of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the Bartholin's gland: a rare presentation.
    Author: Shahabi S, Nathan LM, Chanana C, Garett W, Zheng W, Rutherford TJ.
    Journal: Arch Gynecol Obstet; 2009 May; 279(5):747-50. PubMed ID: 18800221.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the Bartholin's gland accounts for a minority of all Bartholin's gland malignancies. Although local recurrences commonly occur distant metastasis is rare. CASE REPORT: We present the first reported case of Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the Bartholin's gland with metastasis to the liver. DISCUSSION: There is no consensus on the treatment of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the Bartholin's gland. Wide local excision and/or vulvectomy and radiotherapy are advocated for treatment of this cancer. There is not much data on treatment of metastasis and it varies according to site.
