A 15 year old, multiparous, American Quarter Horse mare in late pregnancy, was presented for a mass protruding from the vagina that was noticed 12 hours ago. Physical examination revealed a large, 25 x 12.5 x 12.5 cm, pink to red vaginal protrusion with moderate amounts of mucoid discharge. On transrectal palpation, it was evident that the mare was carrying a live fetus. Reminder of the physical examination was unremarkable. Vaginal prolapse was diagnosed that was manually reduced and an episioplasty procedure was performed. Mare was discharged with instructions to be monitored closely for 14 days and then re-evaluated, unless there were signs of impending parturition. Owner was instructed to seek immediate veterinary care if signs of parturition were noted. Foaling occurred without the knowledge of the owner, resulting in labial tear. Mare and a premature foal were presented at the hospital. Foal died during treatment. Mare was euthanized months later due to unrelated lameness. To authors’ knowledge, this is the first case report of a vaginal prolapse in a mare.

Background: Angiomyofibroblastoma is a rare, benign superficial vulvar lesion of the middle-aged female. Most cases in the literature are initially misdiagnosed as Bartholin gland cysts with final diagnosis ascertained via pathology at the time of surgical excision. Case: A 45-year-old female presented with a large, painless vulvar mass. This mass had formed five years prior to presentation to our clinic, and the patient underwent a procedure to attempt to drain the mass 2-3 years following its initial formation. At her initial visit, a 15 X 10 cm mass was found on the posterior aspect of the right labia minora at the level of the vaginal vestibule. This mass extended inferiorly to the perineum. Needle aspiration was attempted in office but was unsuccessful. The mass was removed under general anesthesia in the operating room en bloc from the vulva without complication and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 0. The pathology of this mass was reported as angiomyofibroblastoma. Conclusion: Differentiating angiomyofibroblastoma from other potential soft tissue masses of the vulva, especially from the commonly mistaken Bartholin gland cyst or rare aggressive angiomyxoma, is essential for preventing unnecessary procedural workup or treatment miss of a malignant mass. Noting the key distinguishing pathological and clinical features of the tumor and considering risk factors for malignancy will aid in correct diagnosis without exposing the patient to extraneous procedures and potential harm.

“…Angiomyofibroblastoma is morphyologically familiar to aggressive angiomyxoma as they share many features such as painless and slow-growing mass. But histopathologically it displays superficial vascular mucinous, clear boundary, more smooth muscle components in stromal matrix and presents more pathological thin-walled blood vessels [5]. It's usually negative for desmin, smooth muscle actin, vimentin and CD34 as the same time.…”

Background: aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare disease that may cause misdiagnosed in the clinical work and the characteristic of this disease is low potential malignancy. This case show a recurrent case of aggressive angiomyxoma 7 years after the surgery which was mistakenly diagnosed at that time.Case presentation: the patient presented a large mass in the right labium majus without any pain. This mass was recurrent 7 years after she received a surgery about the mass occurred at the same place which was diagnosed as vulvar angiomyofibroblastoma. She took the ultrasound scan and MRI scan and underwent the surgery again. This mass was excision completely. At this time, pathologist checked the HE stained slides and immunohistochemistry staining slides, then come the conclusion that this mass was aggressive angiomyxoma. We rechecked the pathological slides 7 tears ago and found out it was misdiagnosed at that time.Conclusions: Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare tumor. This case presents a rare disease that may be misdiagnosed as other benign vulvar disease even after the surgery which get pathologic evidence. So we need to know more abou this disease.
