Abstract

Was referred to the Veterinary Hospital of Uberaba, a biopsy sample from a cow, Nelore, with 48 months of age presenting a swelling in the vulva in depigmented area, with no bleeding. Microscopically we observed the presence of rounded and ovoid cells with large cytoplasm, small nuclei and well stained and nerve endings, collagen fibers and fibroblasts. The arrangement of the neoplastic cells resemble rosettes scattered by the tissue. The work aims to describe a case of schwannoma in cattle and discuss the anatomoclinical findings and emphasize the importance of histopathologic diagnosis.
