Background A captive adult male saddleback tamarin, S aguinus fuscicollis, was lethargic, unresponsive to its surrounding and died before medical care. Methods Necroscopic, histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations were performed. Results Neoplastic spindle cells of the urinary bladder were positive for antifactor VIII antibody. Conclusion A primary urinary bladder haemangiosarcoma was diagnosed, and it has not been previously reported in non‐human primates.
