A radical vulvectomy without post-operative radiation was performed. In the world literature around 200 cases of carcinoma of bartholin's gland are reported. The problems of diagnosis, microscopic classifications and adequate therapy and prognosis are discussed. Carcinoma of bartholin's gland is often recognized late. A cytologic smear for cancer in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of bartholin's gland is indicated.
