Publication date: September 2017 Source:Urology Case Reports, Volume 14 Author(s): Ashhad A. Shaikh, Kishor V. Naik, Shisir N. Shetty, Noor N. Ansari, Pallavi S. Babhale Malignant mesothelioma involving the para-testicular tunica is extremely rare and an aggressive tumor. Bilateral malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis is not reported previously in the literature. Rarity of the disease, absence of any specific clinical and radiological findings makes the preoperative diagnosis difficult. Aggressive surgical approach is the key to successful management with high inguinal orchiectomy and scrotectomy appears to be optimal treatment in patients with localized disease.
