BACKGROUND Salivary gland neoplasms are rare in non-human primates. METHODS 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. RESULTS 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. CONCLUSIONS 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.

非人类灵长类动物唾液腺肿瘤：一个病例系列和简要的文献综述。

背景技术唾液腺肿瘤在非人类灵长类动物中很少见。方法在西南（SNPRC）和耶克斯（YNPRC）国家灵长类动物研究中心，回顾了三十五年的病理记录。对非人类灵长类动物唾液腺肿瘤进行了深入的文献检索。结果鉴定出十七种唾液腺肿瘤（九种来自SNPRC和YNPRC，八种来自已发表的文献）。在八只猕猴，六只狒狒，黑猩猩，一顶帽子猕猴和一头ust着的绢毛猴中，发现了七种恶性，九种良性和一种不确定的行为。腮腺是最常见的起源（n = 7），其次是下颌（n = 4）或较小的唾液腺（n = 2）。两只患有唾液腺腺瘤的动物曾有过辐射暴露史。结论腮腺是唾液腺肿瘤的最常见起源。在非人类灵长类动物的头部和颈部肿块的鉴别诊断中，应考虑唾液腺肿瘤。
