“…Usually the anechoic center is surrounded by irregular echogenic layersthought to represent an inflammatory reaction in the adjacent tissue. Occasionally, debris and septations may be noted within the anechoic center structure 8 . Internal growth and septations are worrisome for malignancy.…”

“…Vaginal masses can present in different manners and may produce surprising findings during surgery. Gartner duct cysts, 1 solid masses, 2 , 3 urethral diverticula, 4 – 7 and Bartholin glands 8 , 9 have been reported by varied 2‐dimensional (2D) sonographic techniques. There are case reports of varied masses evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography 10 – 12 .…”

The purpose of this pictorial essay is to describe the utility of 3-dimensional endovaginal and endoanal sonography in the assessment of vulvovaginal cysts and masses. It is accepted that compared with transabdominal pelvic sonography, transvaginal end-fire sonography provides improved resolution for visualization of female reproductive organs with fewer artifacts. To visualize the structures that are located in or lateral to the vaginal canal, side-fire 3-dimensional endovaginal or endoanal sonography can be used. This special technique has the advantage of maintaining the spatial anatomic relationship of any abnormality in the vagina.

“…Swelling caused by retention, for example, is characterized by welldefined margins and relatively homogenous content; most abscesses appear as hypoechoic or anechoic lesions with irregular margins and perilesional vascularization [2]. Endometriosis is associated with well-defined margins and corpuscular content.…”

“…The ducts measure approximately 2.5 cm in length and open into posterolateral walls of the vaginal vestibule, between the hymen and the labia minora. The ducts, which are lined with transitional epithelium, can become obstructed at the vestibular orifice due to an accumulation of secretions, resulting in cystic dilatation [1,2].…”

Endometriosis is a pathological condition characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the endometrium. The authors describe a case of endometriosis in the Bartholin gland, which was initially diagnosed as a Bartholin gland cyst. The correct diagnosis was later made on the basis of the patient history and the results of the ultrasound examination. Endometriosis in the Bartholin gland should be considered in the presence of dyspareunia, cyclic swelling and pain at the vulvar level, and characteristic ultrasound findings. Keywords Bartholin gland Á Endometriosis Á UltrasonographyRiassunto L'endometriosi è una condizione patologica caratterizzata dalla presenza di tessuto endometriale al di fuori dell'endometrio. Presentiamo un caso di endometriosi di ghiandola del Bartolino, diagnosticata inizialmente come tumefazione cistica della ghiandola del Bartolino e successivamente correttamente inquadrata grazie all'interpolazione dei dati anamnestici con le caratteristiche ecografiche. Questo caso evidenzia come sia lecito sospettare un'endometriosi della ghiandola del Bartolino nei casi di dispareunia, ciclica tumefazione e dolore vulvare, associati ai reperti ecografici.

With the increasing applications of ultrasonography in the field of dermatology, this imaging modality can be extended to identify and characterize common vulvar lesions, with a particular focus on their location, size, vascularity, and content. This pictorial essay provides an introduction to vulvar ultrasonography, including technical considerations, ultrasonographic anatomy, and the ultrasonographic appearances of some vulvar conditions.
