Sažetak

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 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.
