abstract: Malignant mesothelioma of tunica vaginalis testis is a rare tumour usually associated with hydrocele. Until now only one case has been documented, where a pre-operative diagnosis was made by cytological examination of hydrocele fluid. We report one more case with pre-operative diagnosis using hydrocele fluid cytology.
