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.
