Abstract
- A 68-year-old woman had had a TNM stage-III rectal carcinoma at the age of 54 for which she had undergone a low anterior resection followed by postoperative radiotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy with fluorouracil and levamisol. More than 10 years later she presented with a swelling in the right groin, which turned out to be a metastasis; this was a poorly differentiated carcinoma with some of the characteristics of a transitional epithelial carcinoma, for which no primary tumour was found. The lymph node was excised. One year later, a swelling was detected on the labium majus, caused by a poorly differentiated transitional epithelial carcinoma of the glandula vestibularis major (Bartholin's gland). The patient was treated by means ofhemivulvectomy and postoperative radiotherapy.
