Malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis: a case with an unusually indolent course following radical orchidectomy and radiotherapy

JL Harmse, AT Evans and PM Windsor
Ninewells Hospital and Medical School, Dundee, UK.

Malignant mesothelioma (malignant adenomatoid tumour) of the tunica vaginalis testis is a very rare neoplasm with highly aggressive biological behaviour. Treatment is difficult, and widespread local invasion and/or metastatic disease at presentation are associated with a poor prognosis. In this case report we describe for the first time a patient who, despite presenting with locally advanced disease, remains well 10 years after diagnosis and treatment with radical orchidectomy and high dose radiotherapy.
