ResumoUnderstanding causes of morbidity and mortality in nonhuman primates is essential for maintaining these species in captivity and managing populations in the wild. Although it has been stated that neoplasia is relatively uncommon in nonhuman primates [21, 88], more recent reports and excellent review articles suggest that as the age of captive populations increases so does the incidence of neoplasia [70, 78, 107]. A survey of spontaneous neoplasms was conducted and the literature reviewed.
