Post-mortem evaluation of a female sub-adult olive baboon (Papio cynocephalus anubis) revealed a case of ectopic spleen anomaly. Three spherical masses characterized the spleen anomaly. The splenic nodules were located on the left upper quadrant of the stomach, at the distal end of the pancreas. The anterior nodule measures 1.2 cm, the middle nodule 1.9 cm and the posterior nodule 1.3 cm in diameter. Normal spleen was not observed in this case. All the three ectopic splenic nodules showed normal histological architecture. A case of ectopic splenic nodules in baboon is important in that the spleen malformation can readily be mistaken for a pathological process.
对一只雌性亚成年橄榄狒狒(埃及狒狒)的尸检显示了一例异位脾异常病例。脾脏异常表现为三个球形肿块。脾结节位于胃的左上象限,胰腺远端。前结节直径为1.2厘米,中间结节为1.9厘米,后结节为1.3厘米。该病例未观察到正常脾脏。所有三个异位脾结节均显示正常的组织结构。狒狒中出现异位脾结节的病例很重要,因为脾脏畸形很容易被误诊为病理过程。
