Malignant mesotheliomas are rare entities (0.1-0.2% of all malignant tumors) possibly localized at the pleura, peritoneum, pericardium, and tunica vaginalis. Most malignant mesotheliomas are caused by asbestos inhalation. We report on a man who suffered from malignant mesotheliomas of the tunica vaginalis and of the pleura simultaneously. The development of these tumors was probably multicentric; the patient had been exposed to asbestos over a period of 22 years. We discuss the individual findings and the current literature.
恶性间皮瘤是罕见的疾病(占所有恶性肿瘤的0.1 - 0.2%),可能发生于胸膜、腹膜、心包和鞘膜。大多数恶性间皮瘤由吸入石棉所致。我们报告一例同时患有鞘膜和胸膜恶性间皮瘤的男性患者。这些肿瘤可能是多中心发生的;该患者曾在22年的时间里接触过石棉。我们讨论了个体发现及当前文献。
