Abstract

Background

A 6-year-old male rabbit presented with unilateral scrotal enlargement. Clinical examination and imaging revealed a mass within the left vaginal tunic.

Case description

Surgical excision was performed, and histopathology identified a malignant mesothelioma.

Conclusions and case relevance

Immunohistochemical analysis confirmed the diagnosis with strong cytoplasmic co-expression of vimentin and pancytokeratin. This case represents a rare documentation of tunica vaginalis mesothelioma in rabbits, underlining the importance of thorough histopathological and immunohistochemical assessment.
