Abstract: | Two hundred common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) from control groups (100 males, 100 females) of toxicological studies were examined histopathologically to evaluate the spectrum of spontaneous lesions in this species. Frequent findings were extramedullary hematopoiesis affecting adrenal glands, liver, kidney and spleen, cystic Brunner's glands in the duodenum, acute or subacute inflammation in the large intestine and gall bladder, renal mineralization and pigmentation, hepatic Ito-cell vacuolation, microgranuloma and glycogen storage, pituitary cysts, C-cell hyperplasia and lymphocytic foci of the thyroid gland, luteal hyperplasia of the ovary and inflammatory cell foci in various organs. |
