唾液腺肿瘤在非人灵长类动物中很少见。
在西南(SNPRC)和Yerkes(YNPRC)国家灵长类动物研究中心审查了35年的病理记录。对非人灵长类动物的唾液腺肿瘤进行了深入的文献检索。
17例唾液腺肿瘤(9例来自SNPRC和YNPRC,从已发表的文献中确定了8个)。有七个恶性肿瘤,九个良性的,在八只恒河猴中发现了一种不确定的行为,六只狒狒,一只黑猩猩,一只帽子猕猴,还有一个满脸胡须的tamarin.腮腺是最常见的起源(n=7),其次是下颌(n=4)或小唾液腺(n=2)。两只患有唾液腺腺瘤的动物有先前的辐射暴露史。
腮腺是唾液腺肿瘤最常见的起源。在非人类灵长类动物的头颈部肿块的鉴别诊断中,应考虑唾液腺肿瘤。
Salivary gland neoplasms are rare in non-human primates.
Thirty-five years of pathology records were reviewed at the Southwest (SNPRC) and Yerkes (YNPRC) National Primate Research Centers. An in-depth literature search for
salivary gland neoplasms in non-human primates was performed.
Seventeen salivary gland neoplasms (nine from SNPRC and YNPRC, eight from published literature) were identified. There were seven malignant, nine benign, and one of undetermined behavior identified in eight rhesus macaques, six baboons, a chimpanzee, a bonnet macaque, and a moustached tamarin. Parotid gland was the most frequent origin (n = 7), followed by mandibular (n = 4) or minor
salivary glands (n = 2). Two animals with
salivary gland adenoma had a history of prior radiation exposure.
Parotid glands are the most common origin for
salivary gland neoplasms. Salivary gland neoplasms should be considered in the differential diagnoses of head and neck masses in non-human primates.
