【 摘 要 】

The Bartholin's gland (BG) may develop several tumoral lesions such as BG duct cysts, carcinomas, hyperplasias, and adenomas. BG nodular hyperplasias (NHs) are uncommon, and few cases have been reported in the literature. Specific criteria for the distinction between adenomas and hyperplasias have been recently established. Several questions on possible etiologies and appropriate medical approach still remain. Therefore, this work comprises three case reports of NH and an extensive literature review.
