Adenoid cystic carcinoma is an uncommon histological type of the already rare carcinoma of Bartholin's gland with 51 cases described in the literature. We present a case of a 66-year-old woman who was admitted with severe pelvic pain. In an examination under anesthesia a 10x5 cm apparently fixed mass at the left vaginal wall originating from the area of Bartholin's gland was found. and biopsy indicated carcinoma. The patient underwent wide local excision. Although clinically inoperable, the tumor did not infiltrate the bony pelvis and no evidence of metastasis was found. Pathology examination revealed adenoid cystic carcinoma of Bartholin's gland. PCR did not detect human papillomavirus DNA in the specimen. The patient has been treated with adjuvant radiotherapy, and is alive with no evidence of disease after ten months.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the cervix is a rare and aggressive tumor with fatal outcome. In this paper we report two cases of primary adenoid cystic carcinoma and a review of literature. A 80 years old woman, admitted to our hospital with postmenopausal bleeding and hydrorrhea. Gynealogical examination showed a cervical stenotic with the presence of a tumor processus. Biopsy of cervical growth was done. 80-year-old woman presented with vaginal bleeding with pelvic pain. Physical examination revealed a friable mass in the cervix. Incisional biopsy was performed. In the both cases the diagnosis of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the cercix was confirmed. Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the cervix is clinically and radiologically similar to other tumors of the cervix but the diagnosis can only be made by histological examination.
