Bone neoplasms in baboons (Papio spp) are rare, with only one confirmed case of osteosarcoma previously described in the literature. Over a 12-y period, 6 baboons at a national primate research center presented with naturally occurring osteosarcoma; 3 lesions affected the appendicular skeleton, and the remaining 3 were in the head (skull and mandible). The 6 cases presented were identified in members of a large outdoor-housed breeding colony. The subjects were not genetically related or exposed to the same research conditions. Diagnoses were made based on the presentation and radiographic findings, with histologic confirmation.
狒狒(狒狒属)的骨肿瘤很罕见,文献中此前仅描述过一例确诊的骨肉瘤病例。在12年的时间里,一家国家灵长类动物研究中心有6只狒狒出现了自然发生的骨肉瘤;3处病变累及四肢骨骼,其余3处位于头部(颅骨和下颌骨)。所呈现的这6例病例是在一个大型户外饲养繁殖群体的成员中发现的。这些受试动物没有亲缘关系,也没有暴露于相同的研究条件下。诊断基于临床表现和影像学检查结果,并经组织学证实。
