Malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis is rare, but sometimes curable. It is similar to malignant mesothelioma of the peritoneum and of the pleura, and is likewise associated with asbestos exposure. We report a case, with correlative computed tomography, ultrasound, and gross pathology images that demonstrate tiny tumor implants studding the vaginalis testis. The literature is reviewed.
睾丸鞘膜恶性间皮瘤罕见,但有时可治愈。它与腹膜和胸膜的恶性间皮瘤相似,同样与接触石棉有关。我们报告一例病例,并提供相关的计算机断层扫描、超声和大体病理图像,这些图像显示睾丸鞘膜上有微小的肿瘤种植灶。同时对相关文献进行了综述。
