Abstract
Bartholin gland abscesses are typically caused by bacterial agents. Abscesses induced by Enterobius vermicularis are exceptional. We report, here, the case of a 27-year-old woman, whose histopathological examination of the Bartholin gland cyst confirmed the presence of E. vermicularis eggs in the lumen of the cyst.
