We report a case of malignant mesothelioma of the spermatic cord in 80-year-old man presented with retained testis, hydrocele, and right inguinal mass. The patient had a long history of asbestos exposure as a railway worker. The patient was submitted to inguinal radical orchiectomy. One year after surgery, the patient is alive without signs of disease. Malignant mesothelioma of spermatic cord is a very rare disease, but this diagnosis should be suspected in patient with a history of asbestos exposure.
我们报告一例80岁男性精索恶性间皮瘤,患者表现为睾丸未降、鞘膜积液和右侧腹股沟肿块。该患者有长期作为铁路工人接触石棉的病史。患者接受了腹股沟根治性睾丸切除术。术后一年,患者存活且无疾病迹象。精索恶性间皮瘤是一种非常罕见的疾病,但对于有石棉接触史的患者应怀疑这一诊断。
