Abstract:
Malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis is an externally rare tumor arising from the serosal surface of the pleural, pericardial, peritoneal cavities. The pathologic diagnosis was based upon the clinical, gross and microscopic findings and immunohistochemical studies. Appropriate treatment of malignant mesothelioma consists of inguinal orchiectomy with close follow up. Treatment of locally recurrent and distant metastasis have not been standardized. We report a case of metastatic malignant mesothelioma from the tunica vaginalis of the right spermatic cord with coincident finding of left renal cell carcinoma, that was metastasis to the abdominal wall, 17months after right radical orchiectomy and left radical nephrectomy.
