: Malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis is an extremely rare and often a deadly tumor. Preoperative diagnosis is very difficult due to lack of specific clinical manifestations, mainly including hydrocele formation and painless inguinal mass. In this abstract we present a case of a young patient with hydrocele and dull pain of left testes, was planned for laparoscopic repair of left inguinal hernia, during which a mass attached to the scrotal cord was discovered. Dissection and release of the mass from the cord structure were done, and postoperative pathological examination revealed a malignant mesothelioma arising from the left tunica vaginalis testis. Case was then referred to oncology center where intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy with cytoreductive surgery were done.

Malignant mesothelioma is an infrequent tumor that initiates from the mesothelial cells lining of body cavities. The great majority of mesotheliomas originate in the pleural cavity, while the remaining cases initiate in the peritoneal cavity, in the pericardial cavity or on the tunica vaginalis. Usually, mesotheliomas grow in a diffuse pattern and tend to enclose and compress the organs in the various body cavities. Mesothelioma incidence is increasing worldwide and still today, the prognosis is very poor, with a reported median survival of approximately one year from presentation. Thus, the development of alternative and more effective therapies is currently an urgent requirement. The aim of this review article was to describe recent findings about the anti-cancer activity of curcumin and some of its derivatives on mesotheliomas. The potential clinical implications of these findings are discussed.
