Plain-English summary
A yearling filly was brought in because a mass was sticking out near her vulva. After examining her with a scope, feeling her abdomen, and using ultrasound, the veterinarian found that the right uterine horn had prolapsed, which means it had slipped out of its normal position. A biopsy later confirmed this diagnosis. The vet was able to easily put the uterine horn back in place, and the filly recovered without any problems.
Abstract
A yearling filly was presented for protrusion of a mass at the vulvar margins. A diagnosis of prolapse of the right uterine horn was made after vaginoscopy, transrectal palpation, and ultrasonography. It was confirmed later by biopsy of the tissue. Recovery was uneventful after easy replacement of the uterine horn.
