Abstract
Spontaneous peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNSTs) are rare and often benign neoplasms in veterinary species and humans. This report describes the clinical, gross, histopathological, and immunological findings of a spontaneous malignant PNST embedded deep within the soft tissue in the forearm of a 4-year-old captive male rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta).
