Undifferentiated carcinoma of the nasal tissues in the common marmoset.
The occurrence of undifferentiated carcinoma of the nasal tissues in 3 adult marmosets is described. The tumours appeared to arise from the respiratory epithelium of the turbinate bones and nasal septum. They were poorly differentiated, invaded the paranasal sinuses and hard palate and metastasized to the lungs or liver.
