This type of mesothelioma is the rarest, and almost less than 100 cases of testicular mesothelioma are present in the reports of the medical literature available today. The treatment options for this type of mesothelioma include chemotherapy and surgery, which might help the people to live more than two years after the initial diagnosis of cancer. The tumor cells develop in the tunica vaginalis, which is the lining that surrounds the testes. The commonly occurring symptoms of testicular mesothelioma include painless testicular lumps and swelling of the scrotum. The average life expectancy is of 2 years after the proper treatment plan.
