Encapsulated Hematoma of the Bartholin's Glandule.

Abstract

Bartholin's glands are important organs of the female reproductive system. These glands have the function of producing an alkaline mucoid secretion, which helps in vaginal and vulvar lubrication. There are several types of lesions that can be identified in these anatomical structures, where in most cases presented for medical examination, cysts and abscesses predominate. This is the presentation of a clinical case of a 55-year-old patient, who is presented to the surgeon for her complaints. Once the woman is examined, diagnosed, and treated adequately, she is taken into consideration for presenting her case in this study, while maintaining confidentiality. The presented clinical case provides a clinical framework not easy to establish an accurate diagnosis of a Bartholin gland cyst. Careful physical examination by the surgeon and careful preparation with electrosurgery verified the cyst-hematoma left and just above the posterior fornix, where some material was taken from the cyst capsule and hematoma and sent for histological examination. The histological response concluded with cystic hematoma of the Bartholin gland. Cystic lesions of the vagina are relatively common and usually represent a benign condition. Ways of managing Bartholin gland cysts vary depending on the discomfort they bring to the patient as well as the size or even the anatomical extent of the cystic lesion. However, the physical examination, with a careful inspection by the surgeon, combined with the imaging examinations, requires a biopsy examination, which is the confirmation of the diagnosis.
