Primary mesotheliomas of the tunica vaginalis testis are very rare malignant tumors. They are generally associated with exposure to asbestos. They may manifest as hydrocele, testis tumor, inguinal hernia, or epididymitis. After differential diagnosis, treatment is primarily surgical. Adjuvant therapeutic methods for mesotheliomas of the tunica vaginalis testis, with their high mortality, are controversial. Here, we present a mesothelioma case derived from tunica vaginalis testis acting as long-term pyocele with no known asbestos exposure.
睾丸鞘膜原发性间皮瘤是非常罕见的恶性肿瘤。它们通常与接触石棉有关。它们可能表现为鞘膜积液、睾丸肿瘤、腹股沟疝或附睾炎。鉴别诊断后,主要采用手术治疗。睾丸鞘膜间皮瘤的辅助治疗方法因其高死亡率而存在争议。在这里,我们报告了一例源自睾丸鞘膜的间皮瘤病例,该病例长期表现为脓性鞘膜积液,且无已知的石棉暴露。
