Abstract
Documentation of lingual tumors is scarce in nonhuman primates. Through a multi-institutional retrospective study we compile cases of primary and metastatic neoplasia in non-human primates. 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. Lingual neoplasia is seldom reported in non-human primates.
