Abstract EN
Paratesticular mesotheliomas are very rare tumors.
In this paper, we present the management of a 38-year-old male patient with paratesticular malignant mesothelioma who was initially misdiagnosed and treated as recurrent epididymitis.
After the final pathology report defining paratesticular mesothelioma during scrotal exploration, he underwent radical orchiectomy and hemiscrotal excision as a complementary, secondary procedure.
His metastatic workup did not show any dissemination.
Therefore, he did not receive any adjuvant treatment and remained disease-free for more than 2 years.
