To report an exceptional case of multicystic mesothelioma of the testicular tunica vaginalis.
A 72-year-old male was referred for study of a scrotal mass. Physical examination, blood tests, and ultrasound were performed prior to surgical excision and pathologic study of the lesion.
The ultrasound study showed a multilobar cystic lesion near the spermatic cord. Pathology reported multiple 3-4 mm cystic formations, with rudimentary papillae covered by a hyperchromatic epithelium and vimentin (+), CD 34 (+) immunophenotype.
Multicystic mesothelioma is a rare form of mesothelioma, easy to recognize but infrequent. This tumor generally affects the peritoneal surface of the pelvis and abdomen; although other less frequent locations have been described testicular location is exceptional. We report the case of a patient presenting with a multicystic mesothelioma of the testicular tunica vaginalis and review the diagnosis, pathology and treatment options for this type of tumor.
报告一例睾丸鞘膜多囊性间皮瘤的罕见病例。
一名72岁男性因阴囊肿物前来就诊。在对病变进行手术切除和病理研究之前,进行了体格检查、血液检查和超声检查。
超声检查显示精索附近有一个多叶囊性病变。病理报告显示有多个3 - 4毫米的囊性结构,有被深染上皮覆盖的原始乳头,波形蛋白(+),CD 34(+)免疫表型。
多囊性间皮瘤是间皮瘤的一种罕见形式,易于识别但并不常见。这种肿瘤通常累及盆腔和腹部的腹膜表面;尽管也有其他较少见的发病部位被描述,但睾丸部位的发病极为罕见。我们报告了一例患有睾丸鞘膜多囊性间皮瘤的患者病例,并回顾了此类肿瘤的诊断、病理及治疗选择。
