We wrtite to you to discuss the malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis. Malignant mesothelioma most often involves the pleural or peritoneal cavity and exposure to asbestos is a wellknown risk factor for its development . Most patients seek medical attention after they note a scrotal swelling during the course of several months. On clinical assessment, these tumours are often believed to represent a hydrocele or epididymal cyst. As a result, most patients are initially treated conservatively for a suspected benign entity and the diagnosis of malignancy is often made postoperatively.展开更多
