Short summary
To our knowledge, this report represents the first description of thyroid gland tumors in an African Green Monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops). Two cystadenomas as well as a solid follicular adenoma are described in a 27-year-old female. No indications of excessive hormone production due to the tumors were detected.
