Any history of trauma or asbestos exposure was not present. Histopathological and immunohistochemistry reports revealed a malignant mesothelioma of tunica vaginalis. There was no invasion of the tumour to the epididymis and spermatic cord. Imaging studies showed no signs of metastasis. 1\u00a0month later, a high inguinal orchidectomy was performed. The patient underwent adjuvant chemotherapy thereafter and is still on follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although hydrocele is common, detailed evaluation is mandatory to rule out certain rare tumours-testicular and paratesticular variants.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13256-024-04348-y","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,26]],"date-time":"2024-02-26T20:02:16Z","timestamp":1708977736000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Testicular mesothelioma disguised as hydrocele: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Tanya","family":"Nazar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anupama","family":"Gopalakrishnabhaktan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7537-9719","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fatema Ali Asgar","family":"Tashrifwala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aroma","family":"Sathish","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7935-7333","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tirth","family":"Dave","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,27]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"4348_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1159\/000447145","volume":"10","author":"G Dagur","year":"2017","unstructured":"Dagur G, Gandhi J, Suh Y, et al.
