HS has not been reported previously in the Brazilian red-rumped agouti (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Dasyprocta leporina<\/jats:italic>\n                    ), to our knowledge. Here, we describe a case of an agouti in which the primary differential diagnosis, based on its location and gross appearance, was chemodectoma. Although the mass grossly resembled a neuroendocrine tumor, histologic and immunohistochemical findings confirmed HS, with variable immunoreactivity for IBA1, CD204, MHC II, and CD163, and no immunolabeling by neuroendocrine and endothelial cell markers. Our case highlights the diagnostic challenges of cranial mediastinal tumors in exotic animals\u2014emphasizing the value of integrating gross, histologic, and immunohistochemical data in the evaluation of thoracic neoplasia and the utility of comparative pathology in exotic species with minimal data available.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/10406387261444285","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,12]],"date-time":"2026-05-12T05:12:28Z","timestamp":1778562748000},"page":"1401-1406","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Pulmonary histiocytic sarcoma with cranial mediastinal involvement in a Brazilian red-rumped agouti"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"38","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-9376-6149","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arashi","family":"Nakashima","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Connecticut Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-6629-2313","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Heather","family":"Matz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Connecticut\u2019s Beardsley Zoo, Bridgeport, CT, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4935-8535","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emily M.","family":"Reinhardt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Connecticut Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.etp.2007.11.014"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jsap.13253"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1292\/jvms.20-0403"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1293\/tox.34.183S"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","unstructured":"Brown-Uddenberg RC et al.
