Abstract
A 67-year-old male patient presented with right scrotal
swelling and underwent a right hydrocelectomy. A 1 cm
paratesticular lesion was found within the hydrocele sac
after entering the tunica vaginalis. Local excision grossly
removed this in its entirety. Pathology returned as well
differentiated papillary mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis.
Pathologic features and management options are discussed.
