Abstract

A 5-year, mixed breed cow, was presented with cervicovaginal and rectal prolapses. Cow had a vaginal mass on the left caudal aspect of cervicovaginal prolapse. Rectal prolapse was resolved; however, vaginal mass prevented reduction of vaginal prolapse. Next day, vaginal mass was resected that made vaginal prolapse reduction and vulval closure (Bühner stich) possible. Histopathology identified the mass as infected vaginal lipoma.
