Abstract
•
Mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis is a rare and aggressive malignancy with highly variable clinical presentation, most commonly appearing as hydrocele or testicular mass.
•
Radical surgery with negative margins is a cornerstone of treatment and may improve outcomes.
•
Systemic therapies, including chemotherapy and immunotherapy, are adapted from pleural mesothelioma treatment protocols. Their role in mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis remains investigational and warrants further prospective study.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Genitourinary Cancer is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes original articles describing various aspects of clinical and translational research in genitourinary cancers. Clinical Genitourinary Cancer is devoted to articles on detection, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of genitourinary cancers. The main emphasis is on recent scientific developments in all areas related to genitourinary malignancies. Specific areas of interest include clinical research and mechanistic approaches; drug sensitivity and resistance; gene and antisense therapy; pathology, markers, and prognostic indicators; chemoprevention strategies; multimodality therapy; and integration of various approaches.
