A case of malignant mesothelioma arising from the tunica vaginalis propria testis is described. The nature of this tumor is evidenced by in situ malignant change of the mesothelial lining as well as by extensive lymphatic and local tissue invasion. This is the first report of a malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis associated with asbestos exposure and may be epidemiologically as well as clinically important.
本文描述了一例起源于睾丸固有鞘膜的恶性间皮瘤病例。该肿瘤的性质通过间皮内衬的原位恶性变化以及广泛的淋巴和局部组织浸润得以证实。这是首例与石棉暴露相关的睾丸鞘膜恶性间皮瘤报告,在流行病学和临床方面可能都具有重要意义。
