January 5th, 2006. Paratesticular papillary mesothelioma: a case with borderline features

This combination of benign and semimalignant characteristics can make the diagnosis of such a lesion problematic. We think that a diagnosis of "borderline papillary mesothelioma" can be considered for similar mesothelial proliferations to allow for a possible increase in diagnostic accuracy and provide an enhanced informational platform from which patients and clinicians can benefit.

December 7th, 2005. The Immunohistochemical Profile of Malignant Mesotheliomas of the Tunica Vaginalis: A Study of 20 Cases

Focal weak positivity may be encountered with BerEp4. However, histopathologists should be aware of the variability in CK5-6 staining in testicular specimens when compared with pleural mesotheliomas.

December 6th, 2005. Nonpleural mesotheliomas: mesothelioma of the peritoneum, tunica vaginalis, and pericardium

Mesotheliomas that involve the pericardium or originate from the tunica vaginalis are rare tumors. Given the rarity of these tumors, it is difficult to obtain precise information regarding their incidence, natural history, and optimal management.

November 25th, 2005. Clear cell mesothelioma of the testis with deciduoid areas–a case report

Awareness of this variant is required to avoid misdiagnosis and treatment as either metastasis from a renal cell carcinoma or as a germ cell tumor. A diagnosis of mesothelioma must be ruled out in elderly patients with epithelial-looking tumor especially if the serum germ cell tumor markers are within normal range.

October 20th, 2005. Malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis Testis: Unusual sonographic appearance

It is similar to malignant mesothelioma of the peritoneum, usually associated with asbestos exposure. We present an unusual case in which the tumor was a mix of a hypoechoic solid nodule and a cystic component with low-level internal echoes.

July 22nd, 2005. Malignant Mesothelioma of the Tunica Vaginalis

Conclusions: Malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis constitutes a rare but often fatal malignancy of the male genitalia. This diagnosis should be suspected in patients exposed to asbestos and presenting with clinical symptoms of either hydrocele or inguinal hernia. Frequent inguinal lymph node involvement indicates a potential role of inguinal lymphadenectomy in the primary treatment.
