Abstract

An SIV-infected rhesus macaque presented with anemia, hypercalcemia, and hyperglobulinemia. Neoplastic round cells with plasma cell morphology infiltrated multiple organs and stained immunohistochemically positive for CD45, MUM1/IRF4, CD138, VS38C, and Kappa light chain and variably positive for CD20 and CD79a, consistent with a B-cell neoplasm with plasma cell differentiation.
