On postmortem examination, 2 geriatric captive male squirrel monkeys () were found to have pituitary masses that were unassociated with previous experimental manipulation. Both animals were euthanized due to apparently unrelated clinical reasons. Histopathology and immunohistochemical staining classified these tumors as thyrotrophic and corticotrophic pituitary adenomas. These cases represent the first reports of this tumor type in squirrel monkeys.
剖检时发现 2 只老年圈养雄性松鼠猴()有垂体肿块,但与之前的实验操作无关。这两只动物均因明显无关的临床原因而被安乐死。组织病理学和免疫组织化学染色将这些肿瘤分类为促甲状腺素和促肾上腺皮质激素垂体腺瘤。这些病例代表了松鼠猴中这种肿瘤类型的首次报告。
