title: Malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis.
abstract: A patient is described with an indolent scrotal mass complicated by acute hydrocoele which was proven to be due to malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis. Although uncommon, the possibility of scrotal mass lesion should be considered in ultrasound examination of hydrocoeles with atypical presentations.
