Here we report the case of a urinary bladder leiomyoma in a rhesus macaque. The animal was clinically normal and had a lipoma localized to the stifle. Endovesicular leiomyomas are the most common form of urinary bladder leiomyoma in humans. In contrast, this macaque's tumor exhibited extravesicular localization in the bladder. Urinary bladder leiomyomas account for less than 0.5% of all bladder tumors in humans, with only 250 cases reported in total.
在此,我们报告一例恒河猴膀胱平滑肌瘤的病例。该动物临床正常,在膝关节处有一个脂肪瘤。膀胱内平滑肌瘤是人类膀胱平滑肌瘤最常见的形式。相比之下,这只猕猴的肿瘤位于膀胱外。膀胱平滑肌瘤在人类所有膀胱肿瘤中占比不到0.5%,总共仅报告了250例。
