Abstract

We here describe a case of recurrent gingival enlargement in an olive baboon (Papio anubis). This baboon (a male breeder that had not undergone any experimental procedures) also had shown mild gingival enlargement the 2 y prior to the current lesion. Clinical and histopathologic findings confirmed a diagnosis of idiopathic gingival enlargement.
