Abstract
An adult female Toggenburg goat with a history of acute vaginal bleeding and death was presented for postmortem examination. Necropsy, histologic examination, and immunohistochemical staining revealed the presence of a leiomyoma that originated from the uterine cervix, occupied most of the vaginal lumen, and had a bleeding, frayed artery in the caudal end.
