Abstract
Background
There are no previous descriptions of the prevalence of spontaneous female reproductive neoplasms in neotropical primates.
Methods
A 6-year study of pathological records from the Anatomy Pathology Sector from the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro (SAP/UFRuralRJ) was conducted. All cases of female nonhuman primate taxa belonging to the Platyrrhini parvorder with primary reproductive neoplasms were studied.
Results
The overall prevalence of female reproductive neoplasms in neotropical primates from 2019 to 2024 was 2.6% (6/228). Ovarian neoplasms were all classified as lesions without clinical significance. Uterine adenocarcinomas were observed in 50% (3/6) and were considered the cause of death in all cases.
Conclusions
Our findings suggest that there are no significant differences in the prevalence of ovarian and uterine spontaneous neoplasm presentation in neotropical primates. Despite the low prevalence, uterine adenocarcinomas should be included as a potential cause of neotropical primate deaths.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Medical Primatology publishes research on non-human primates as models to study, prevent, and/or treat human diseases; subjects include veterinary medicine; morphology, physiology, reproductive biology, central nervous system, and cardiovascular diseases; husbandry, handling, experimental methodology, and management of non-human primate colonies and laboratories; non-human primate wildlife management; and behaviour and sociology as related to medical conditions and captive non-human primate needs.
Published material includes: Original Manuscripts - research results; Case Reports - scientific documentation of a single clinical study; Short Papers - case histories, methodologies, and techniques of particular interest; Letters to the Editor - opinions, controversies and sporadic scientific observations; Perspectives – opinion piece about existing research on a particular topic; Minireviews – a concise review of existing literature; Book Reviews by invitation; Special Issues containing selected papers from specialized meetings; and Editorials and memoriams authored by the Editor-in-Chief.
