: Inflammatory lesions and cysts are the most common Bartholin glands pathologic diagnoses. There have been very few reports of benign solid lesions of Bartholin glands such as nodular hyperplasia. : Thirty-two lesions diagnosed as Bartholin duct cyst in the gynecologic specialized institute were reviewed by two expert gynecological pathologists. : Using specific criteria, 7 qualified as nodular hyperplasia, 25 as Bartholin duct cyst. The average age of the patients with nodular hyperplasia was 31 years (range, 24 to 43). These lesions were solid, solid and cystic or purely cystic, had a mean maximal dimension of 3.3 cm, and were frequently thought to be Bartholin cysts on clinical examination. Four lesions were diagnosed as Bartholin duct cysts, while in the review they were considered as nodular hyperplasia. : Nodular hyperplasia of Bartholin gland may be more common than is reported in the literature. This study showed that the diagnosis of nodular hyperplasia has been overlooked due to limited literature sources.
: 炎性病变和囊肿是巴氏腺最常见的病理诊断。巴氏腺良性实性病变如结节性增生非常少见。: 在妇科专科医院，两位妇科病理学家对 32 例被诊断为巴氏腺管囊肿的病变进行了回顾性分析。: 使用特定的标准，7 例符合结节性增生，25 例符合巴氏腺管囊肿。结节性增生患者的平均年龄为 31 岁（24 岁至 43 岁）。这些病变为实性、实性和囊性或单纯囊性，最大径平均为 3.3cm，临床上常被认为是巴氏腺囊肿。4 例被诊断为巴氏腺管囊肿，而在回顾性分析中，这些病变被认为是结节性增生。: 巴氏腺结节性增生可能比文献报道的更常见。本研究表明，由于文献资料有限，结节性增生的诊断被忽视了。
