Abstract
A case of vaginal fibrosarcoma in a 4-year-old
pregnant (6th month) cow is described on the basis of clinical, macroscopic and
microscopic findings. Tumor mass surgically excised from the vagina was nodular
and firm, sized 40mm x 60mm. Histopathologically, neoplastic tissue originated
from the mucosal connective tissue. Tumor cells showed highly proliferating
pattern with cellular and nuclear pleomorphism (anisocytosis and anisokaryosis).
In addition, some tissue parts were very well vascularized.Excision of the tumor mass was easy and successful; with neither
hemorrhage nor postoperative infection. At the 5th post surgical
month, no evidence of regrowth of any tumor tissue was found. This paper reports
the first clinical investigation, surgical treatment and pathological
description of a vaginal fibrosarcoma in Algeria.
