Abstract

Mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis (MTVT) is a rare tumour and a cause of hydrocele. This case report concerns a 26-year-old male with hydrocele treated with left hydrocelectomy. Histopathology revealed MTVT, and left radical orchiectomy was performed followed by chemotherapy. Fluorescence in situ hybridization, DNA and RNA next-generation sequencing showed no mesothelioma-associated tumour suppressor gene mutations, but deletion of CDKN2A and a rare TFG-ADGRG7 fusion both reported in pleural mesotheliomas, were detected. Clinicians should consider malignancy in case of discrepancy between symptoms and objective findings in scrotal conditions.
