Resumen

Presentamos el caso de un paciente afecto de mesotelioma maligno de túnica vaginal, del cual existen menos de 80 casos descritos en la literatura. Se trata de un varón de 62 años, remitido por masa escrotal de 3 meses de evolución, comprobando tumoración escrotal izquierda, con signos flogóticos y erupción pápulovesicular en escroto-hipogastrio. Se realizó orquiectomía, con escrototomía parcial. Tras la exéresis quirúrgica y diagnóstico anatomopatológico de mesotelioma maligno infiltrante, se constató mediante TAC, la presencia de metástasis retroperitoneales, pulmonares y hepáticas.

El paciente está recibiendo tratamiento combinado de Quimioterapia y Radioterapia con un pronóstico sombrío.

Revisamos el diagnóstico, histología y opciones de tratamiento de este tipo infrecuente de tumor paratesticular.

Abstract

Case report of a new case of malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis. A mediterranean male age 62, presented with enlargement and swelling of the scrotum, treated as orchiepydidymitis within the previous 3 months. Physical and ultrasonography examination showed a left scrotal mass with extension to the skin of the scrotum. After surgery (orchiectomy and partial hemiscrotectomy) and histopathology diagnosis of locally advanced malignant mesothelioma, CT showed metastasis in retroperitoneum, Lung and Liver.

The patient undergoes chemoterapy and radioteraphy with a poor prognose.

We review the diagnosis, histopathology and terapeutical approach for this uncommon kind of paratesticular tumor.(less than 80 cases reported in the last 30 years).
