Abstract

The present paper describes an unusual case of Vaginal Squamous cell Carcinoma in a mare. A cauliflower growth was seen in the left vulval lip. The FNAB revealed pleomorphic squamous cells with mitotic figures, anisocytosis and anisokaryosis. Histopathologic picture of the excised mass showed typical keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma and concentrically arranged keratin pearls in center.
