%X <B>BACKGROUND: </B>Cystic lesions associated with the blockage of Bartholin gland ducts are frequently seen, but occurrence outside the normal vestibular localization is quite rare.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>A 16-year-old patient presented with a localized cystic lump approximately 4 cm in size on one of her labia minora. After an excision, she was diagnosed with an atypically localized Bartholin cyst.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>It is very difficult to make an early diagnosis for an atypically localized Bartholin cystic lesion in adolescence; it can be diagnosed only after a pathological examination. In the differential diagnosis of a vulvar lump, an atypically localized Bartholin cyst should also be considered as a possibility.
