“…In the chimpanzee, several of the known cases have been secondary to experimental infection with hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus (Porter et al, 2004a). Hepatocellular carcinomas have also been observed in two species of squirrel monkey, S. boliviensis (Borda et al, 1996) and S. sciureus (Morris and Abdi, 1996), cynomolgus macaques (Reindel et al, 2000), an African green monkey (Seibold and Wolf, 1973), and experimentally in rhesus macaques exposed to a variety of carcinogens including nitrosomines and aflatoxin (Adamson, 1989). A hepatoma has been recorded in a sooty mangabey (Clark and Olsen, 1973) and a hepatic neuroendocrine tumor has been reported in a baboon (Aloisio et al, 2009).…”

“…A large number of squirrel monkeys are kept in zoos and experimental facilities, but there are few reports of tumors in this species such as malignant lymphoma [1], hepatocellular carcinoma [3,11], osteosarcoma [8], adenocarcinoma of the cecum [9], squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity [12], and mammary adenocarcinoma [14]. In the present study, we describe a case of subcutaneous leiomyosarcoma in the right axilla with pulmonary metastasis in a squirrel monkey.…”

ABSTRACT. Leiomyosarcoma in soft tissue has only been reported in humans or animals. We performed pathological examination of a 3-years-old male squirrel monkey which had a large mass in the right axilla. The mass in the right axilla was surgically resected but it soon reoccurred. This tumor was diagnosed as a leiomyosarcoma based on histopathology and immunohistochemistry using the expression of -smooth muscle actin and desmin. Leiomyosarcoma in squirrel monkey has been reported in one case, there was no reoccurrence or metastasis. Most of the reported tumors in nonhuman primates have occurred in aged monkeys. This case was a rare tumor considering the young age of the animal.

“…Experimentally induced or naturally occurring HCC has been reported in chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes ); common squirrel monkey ( Saimiri sciureus ) and black‐capped squirrel monkey ( Saimiri boliviensis ); cynomolgous ( Macaca fascicularis ), rhesus ( Macaca mulata ), and Japanese macaques ( Macaca fuscata ); African green monkey ( Cercopithecus aethiops ); and golden‐headed lion tamarins ( Leontopithecus chrysomelas ) . Other PLNs reported in NHPs are hepatoma in sooty mangabey ( Cercocebus atys ); neuroendocrine carcinoma in baboon ( Papio sp.…”
