Abstract

This report describes postmortem findings after the sudden death of a captive-bred middle-aged male cotton-top tamarin (Saguinus oedipus). A firm structure was attached to the pleura in the chest cavity and was assessed as a primary tumor without obvious metastasis. Histologically, the mass showed heterogenicity with immunohistochemistry (IHC) reactivity to vimentin, suggesting a diagnosis of fibrosarcoma of mesenchymal origin.
