Renal adenocarcinoma presenting with bilateral metastases to Bartholin's glands: primary diagnosis by aspiration cytology.
The first recorded case of renal adenocarcinoma presenting with bilateral metastases to the Bartholin's glands is presented. Primary diagnosis of the metastatic deposits was made by fine-needle aspiration cytology with subsequent localization of the unsuspected renal primary. The value of fine-needle aspiration in the identification of inapparent primary tumors is discussed and cytological findings are described in detail.
