RESUMO
Mesotheliomas of the tunica vaginalis testis are very uncommon tumors, with rare cases published in the literature. This report demonstrates a case in with such a tumor was diagnosed in a 50-year-old man who presented to the emergency room with mild, acute scrotal pain and swelling, without previously known scrotal pathology. It is noted that sonographers should be aware of the typical characteristics that allow for suspecting malignancy in scrotal sonography performed in the emergency setting; this was particularly important in this case. Surgical pathology analysis of the right radical orchiectomy specimen confirmed the diagnosis.
