We report a case of a 32-year-old woman with a lesion in the vagina which clinically mimicked a Bartholin's gland abscess, but was demonstrated to be a small cell carcinoma by light microscopy. This tumor is very rare and to our knowledge there are 13 reported cases of primary vaginal small cell carcinoma in the English literature. The mean age of presentation of this neoplasm in the 13 reported cases is 61 with a median survival of 12 months. This case stresses the importance of considering this unusual diagnosis when confronted with a large or recurrent "Bartholin's gland lesion," and underlines the need for careful pathological examination of such specimens.
我们报告一例32岁女性，其阴道有一病变，临床症状类似巴氏腺脓肿，但经光学显微镜检查证实为小细胞癌。这种肿瘤非常罕见，据我们所知，英文文献中报道了13例原发性阴道小细胞癌病例。在这13例报道病例中，该肿瘤的平均发病年龄为61岁，中位生存期为12个月。该病例强调了在面对较大或复发性“巴氏腺病变”时考虑这种不寻常诊断的重要性，并强调了对此类标本进行仔细病理检查的必要性。
