Abstract
This report presents the case of a 22-year-old male squirrel monkey with primary seminal vesicle adenocarcinoma (PSVA). The animal presented with hematuria and emaciation. Pathological autopsy of the seminal vesicle tumor revealed an irregularly shaped, white, solid mass showing ductal/papillary and solid patterns and periodic acid-Schiff-positive mucus in the duct. The vesicle was dilated by blood. Tumor cells showed cytoplasmic eosinophilic granules, and a transition to tumor tissue was observed. Immunohistochemical analysis indicated that all tumor cells were cytokeratin-negative; only ductal/papillary cells were vimentin-positive. Other organs were tumor free. PSVA was diagnosed based on the site of tumor origin and histopathology, similar to PSVA in laboratory rodents. This study reports a case of PSVA in a new-world monkey.
期刊介绍:
JVMS is a peer-reviewed journal and publishes a variety of papers on veterinary science from basic research to applied science and clinical research. JVMS is published monthly and consists of twelve issues per year. Papers are from the areas of anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, toxicology, pathology, immunology, microbiology, virology, parasitology, internal medicine, surgery, clinical pathology, theriogenology, avian disease, public health, ethology, and laboratory animal science. Although JVMS has played a role in publishing the scientific achievements of Japanese researchers and clinicians for many years, it now also accepts papers submitted from all over the world.
