Testicular mesothelioma is developed in the lining of the testicles, a tissue known as tunica vaginalis. It is the rarest type of mesothelioma, accounting for less than one percent of the cases, which makes it difficult to analyze. Misdiagnosis is very common and there are patients who were only diagnosed by undergoing surgery or treatment for another condition. Given the rarity of testicular mesothelioma, a complete list of symptoms has not been established, but it is known that painless testicular lumps and swelling of the scrotum are common indicators. In the case of testicular mesothelioma, surgery to remove part or all of the testicle affected is one of the most common treatment options, which physicians may also recommend adjuvant therapy, including chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
