ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Documentation of lingual tumors is scarce in nonhuman primates.

METHODS:

Through a multi-institutional retrospective study we compile cases of primary and metastatic neoplasia in non-human primates.

RESULTS:

We describe five cases of lingual neoplasia. Three cases are primary lingual tumors chondro-osteoblastic lipoma in a howler monkey, squamous cell carcinoma, and fibroma in two baboons. We describe two cases of metastatic lymphoma in the tongue in rhesus macaques. A literature review of published lingual neoplasia in nonhuman primates is included in this manuscript.

CONCLUSION:

Lingual neoplasia is seldom reported in non-human primates.
