An 18-month-old female orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) died after exhibiting fever, cough, and rapid breathing.
Based on serological, virological, histopathological and immunohistochemical examination, anaplastic large cell lymphoma was confirmed.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of anaplastic large cell lymphoma associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in an orangutan.
