Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of Bartholin's gland.
A small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma that arose in Bartholin's gland in a 30-year-old woman is reported. The tumor had light, electron microscopic, and immunohistochemical features typical of pulmonary small cell carcinoma and was metastatic to inguinal lymph nodes at presentation. This is the first reported example of this tumor occurring in Bartholin's gland.
