Well Differentiated Papillary Mesothelioma (WDPM) is an uncommon tumor occurring predominantly in the peritoneum of young women with no history of asbestos exposure. In this report, we present a case of 48 year old male patient presenting with indirect inguinal hernia and incidental finding of a WDPM in the hernial sac during surgery. The unusual site of presentation and the relative rarity of this neoplasm in males evoke much clinico-pathological interest.
高分化乳头状间皮瘤（WDPM）是一种罕见肿瘤，主要发生于无石棉接触史的年轻女性腹膜。在本报告中，我们呈现了一例48岁男性患者，该患者表现为腹股沟斜疝，手术中在疝囊内意外发现了高分化乳头状间皮瘤。这种不寻常的发病部位以及该肿瘤在男性中相对罕见的情况引发了诸多临床病理方面的关注。
