Abstract

Malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis is a rare, but often fatal, malignancy that usually appears during the fourth decade and has a strong relationship with occupational exposure to asbestos and long-lasting hydrocele. We present a case involving a 36-year-old man without a history of hydrocele, trauma, or exposure to asbestos who developed malignant mesothelioma.
