title: [Neuro-endocrine carcinoma of a Bartholin's gland].
abstract: This is a case of a 38 year old woman in whom a small basophil cell tumour occurred with inguinal and iliac lymph node metastases followed by pulmonary metastases and extension of the tumour into the vagina and the bladder. The patient died eight months after having started multiple chemotherapy and radiotherapy with telecobalt. Extra studies were carried out ten years later on the cells. This made it possible to diagnose the condition as a neuro-endocrine carcinoma rich in serotonin.
