| Popis: | A case of pleomorphic leiomyoma in Bartholin gland's area in a 26-year-old woman is reported. After diagnostic treatment, primary excision was done. A large, solid tumor 10 x 7.5 cm was extirpated. The tumor showed locally invasive behavior, which suggested a malignant tumor of Bartholin gland, because of it's localization and outlook. Pathohistological examination and immunohistochemical reactions proved that it was a mesenchymal tumor of smooth muscle origin with marked polymorphism, without mitosis, with a myxoid stroma and with biological aggressivity, and the possibility of local recurrence. Thus, a second more radical surgical procedure, was performed. In the excised tissue, no residual tumor was found and all lymphnodes were negative. |
