RESUMO
Mesoteliomas são tumores oriundos das células mesoteliais da pleura, peritônio, pericárdio ou túnica vaginal, sendo a exposição prolongada ao asbesto o principal fator de risco. Neoplasias mesoteliais benignas da região paratesticular são raras. Relata-se um caso de Mesotelioma de Túnica Vaginal associado à hidrocele, destacando a utilidade da ecografia na avaliação das massas escrotais (AU)
ABSTRACT
Mesotheliomas are tumors originating from the mesothelial cells of the pleura, peritoneum, pericardium or tunica vaginalis, with prolonged exposure to asbestos the main risk factor. Benign mesothelial neoplasms of the paratesticular region are rare. Here we report a case of tunica vaginalis mesothelioma associated with hydrocele, highlighting the usefulness of ultrasound in the evaluation of scrotal masses (AU)
