The possibility of a primary Bartholin's gland tumor was excluded by the fact that the lesion was located away from the normal Bartholin's gland area of distribution (labium majus) and also the fact that normal Bartholin's glands were not recognized in the vicinity of the tumor.
Even when both Bartholin's glands are destroyed other glands in the vagina are capable of secreting adequate amounts of lubricants.
