Abstract

The presented case includes the vaginal fibrosarcoma
hanging out through the lips of vulva of a 3-year old, brown Swiss cow and
removal of the mass with operative intervention. In the clinical examination of
the cow, no disorder other than the mass was detected. A hemorrhagic, necrotic,
lobular mass spreading to various regions of vagina and hanging out through the
lips of vulva was identified in clinical examination. The mass with the
diameter of 15 x 12.5 x 13 cm was removed from the site by operative
intervention. Histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations revealed
that the mass was vaginal fibrosarcoma. The cow has been followed up for 6
months postoperatively. No complication or recurrence was observed. In
conclusion, we believe that the vaginal fibrosarcoma in the presented case
which was diagnosed as a result of histopathological and immunohistochemical
examinations in a -3 year old cow will contribute to the scientific literature.
