[Paratesticular mesothelioma].
Paratesticular mesothelioma is a very rare entity of this aggressive malignancy. In 30-40 % of all cases an exposition to asbestos exists in the anamnesis. We report on a typical case of paratesticular mesothelioma in a roof slater and tiler who had had occupational contact with asbestos-containing materials over decades. The recommended diagnostics and therapy are discussed and the importance of the identification as an occupational disease is emphasized.
