Bartholin's gland cancer is a rare malignancy that must be considered in the differential diagnosis of a labial mass. The prognosis is generally poor due to the aggressive metastatic tendencies of this cancer. The etiology of Bartholin's gland cancer remains unknown, and no optimal plan of treatment has been established. Early detection followed by radical vulvectomy and bilateral inguinal-femoral node dissection may improve survival.
