MM has a very poor prognosis therefore early treatment plan should be made. Surgery is the main treatment for malignant mesothelioma of the testis. Although chemotherapy and radiotherapy play an active role in the treatment of metastatic disease, surgery is the first-line therapy in the treatment of the tumor. Also; long-term hydrocele, recurrent epididymitis, scrotal edema can make it harder to detect the tumor diagnosis. MM should be considered in such patients. Necrosis and abscess appearance was not mentioned before in published case reports. In this respect, it should not be ignored the long-term hydrocele situation and the appearance of abscess-epididymitis that cannot be treated properly.
