Neoplasms are only sporadically reported in New World primates and rarely in owl monkeys (), specifically. Previous reports of neoplasms in owl monkeys are primarily restricted to lymphoma induced by infection, although other tumors in the central nervous, genitourinary, gastrointestinal, and endocrine systems have been sporadically reported. Herein, we describe 3 previously unreported neoplasms in owl monkeys () including a pericardial mesothelioma in a 6-year-old male, a nephroblastoma in a 2-year-old male, and a cervical neoplasm with characteristics of an epithelioid trophoblastic tumor in a 4-year-old female, all occurring in the same closed breeding colony at a research facility in central Texas. Reporting of spontaneously occurring neoplasms in research colony populations is important for identifying potential animal models of human diseases and for improving colony management and species health.
在新大陆猴中，肿瘤仅偶尔被报道，在夜猴中则极为罕见。以往关于夜猴肿瘤的报道主要局限于由感染引起的淋巴瘤，不过中枢神经、泌尿生殖、胃肠和内分泌系统的其他肿瘤也有零星报道。在此，我们描述了3例夜猴中先前未报道过的肿瘤，包括1例6岁雄性的心包间皮瘤、1例2岁雄性的肾母细胞瘤以及1例4岁雌性的具有上皮样滋养细胞肿瘤特征的宫颈肿瘤，所有这些肿瘤均发生在得克萨斯州中部一个研究机构的同一个封闭繁殖群体中。报告研究群体中自发出现的肿瘤对于识别潜在的人类疾病动物模型以及改善群体管理和物种健康非常重要。
