Reviewer's report:  
 
Dear authors,  
 
This is an uncommon and interesting case but  
Line 44 - References should start with number 1.  
Line 53 - GW: Abbreviations should be written at first presentation in the text  
Line 69 - Figures should start with number 1.  
References should all follow same style (f.e. 1, 4, 5 are presented in different style)  
 
Also, so that this case report adds some scientific knowledge to the literature  
Figure 1 - the tumor referred as Bartholin's gland cyst is not located at typical Bartholin's 
gland cyst location, therefore at least a comment about this should be given.  
Figure 4 - a comment on the reasons why the vulvar defect appeared should be given.
