Abstract

We present a case of extrapelvic endometriosis of Bartholin’s gland in a healthy 40-year-old woman with two deliveries. After the last delivery 10 years ago, she had cyclical pain with swelling in the Bartholin’s gland area and dyspareunia with vulvodynia. Primary excision was performed, and Bartholin’s gland endometriosis was pathohistologically proven as an extremely rare gynaecological entity. A follow-up examination 2 months after surgery proved complete recovery without vulvodynia and dyspareunia.
