Malignant Mesothelioma of the Tunica Vaginalis: Presenting with Intermittent Scrotal Pain and Hydrocele

Figure 2

Intermediate-power view of complex, interconnecting pseudoglandular mesothelial proliferation spraying out into abortive tubular structures and rare isolated cells in a desmoplastic stroma. Neoplastic mesothelial cells are characterised by higher nucleus/cytoplasm ratio than normal cells and have prominent nucleoli and eosinophilic cytoplasm disposed into strands with nuclear overlapping (×100 magnification; H&E staining).
