Brown vaginal discharge means (old) blood is present. This can happen for all sorts of reasons, from pregnancy to miscarriage, from ectopic pregnancy to endometriosis, from sexually transmitted diseases to uterine polyps, and from a side effect of hormonal contraceptives to cervical or uterine cancer. I should also mention that brown discharge can be caused by over-enthusiastic sex or an injury as well.
I personally wouldn't run to a doctor if it happened as a one off during a time I wasn't expecting it, but women should always keep an eye on discharge differences and, considering that the cause of brown spotting can be serious, see a doctor if it keeps happening.
