Abstract
We report a case of bilateral synchronous malignant mesothelioma of the testis. A 21-year-old man presented with an acute scrotum after 3 months of recurrent pain on the right side. Ultrasonography demonstrated an irregular thickening of the tunica vaginalis testis, scrotolyths, and an increased blood flow to the right epididymis testis. Bilateral exploration revealed torsion of the hydatid and a bilateral malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis. One year later, elective bilateral exploration showed one minute area on the parietal tunica vaginalis of malignant mesothelioma. After 2 years of follow-up, the patient had no signs of distant disease.Entities:
