Cytoplasmic Crystalloids in the Ovary of a Woolly Monkey

Abstract

Bilateral ovarian interstitial cell masses have been described in the owl monkey (Aotus trivirgatus) and squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus) and are believed to be a normal developmental change in mature females of these species. A 6-year-old female woolly monkey had bilateral accumulation of interstitial cell masses in the ovaries. The ovaries were ellipsoidal, 17 mm long, and 12 and 14 mm in diameter respectively. The cortical and medullary portions of both ovaries were indistinct, replaced by solid, yellow-orange tissue with a pale yellow-tan irregular trabecular pattern.
