Abstract
A case is presented where a nonpuerperal traumatic vulvar hematoma was initially mistaken
for a Bartholin's gland duct abscess. Since the treatment may be different, the importance
of clinical differentiation between these two entities is stressed. Proper management
of the vulvar hematomas involves bed rest, close observation, and early surgical intervention
only when absolutely necessary. Patients with significant vulvar hematomas should
be hospitalized and closely followed.
