Spontaneous retroperitoneal liposarcoma in a free‐ranging juvenile golden‐headed lion tamarin (Leontopithecus chrysomelas).

Malignant adipocytic neoplasia is rare among nonhuman primates. We report the gross and microscopic features of a retroperitoneal liposarcoma with myxofibrosarcoma‐like dedifferentiation in a free‐ranging juvenile golden‐headed lion tamarin (Leontopithecus chrysomelas). To our knowledge, this is the first report of such tumor subtype in New World primates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
