    A squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus) developed a malignant lymphoma, a type of cancer. This is the first reported case in this primate species, potentially linking to Burkitt lymphoma in humans.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Pathology
    • Primate Oncology
    • Comparative Pathology

    Background:

    • Malignant lymphoma is a significant neoplastic disease in various species.
    • Spontaneous tumors in non-human primates are crucial for comparative oncology research.
    • Squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) are widely used in biomedical research.

    Observation:

    • A juvenile male squirrel monkey presented with a thoracic mass.
    • The mass was diagnosed as a histiocytic malignant lymphoma.
    • The neoplasm infiltrated local structures but spared distant organs like the liver and spleen.

    Findings:

    • The tumor comprised sheets of large cells with vesicular nuclei and abundant cytoplasm.
    • Tumor cells were supported by a sparse stroma of fine argyrophilic fibers.

  • This represents the first documented instance of spontaneous malignant lymphoma in Saimiri sciureus.

    • Implications:

    • This case may serve as a model for studying human Burkitt lymphoma.
    • Understanding primate lymphomas aids in veterinary diagnostics and treatment.
    • Further research into squirrel monkey neoplasms can advance comparative cancer studies.
