Adenocarcinoma of the gland is rare and benign tumors and hyperplasia are even more rare. [18] Bartholin gland carcinoma [19] is a rare malignancy that occurs in 1% of vulvar cancers. This may be due to the presence of three different types of epithelial tissue. [8] Inflammation of the Skene's glands and Bartholin glands may appear similar to ...

Plasma from the vaginal walls due to vascular engorgement is considered to be the chief lubrication source, and the Bartholin's glands , located slightly below and to the left and right of the introitus (vaginal opening), also secrete mucus to ...
