Malignant mesothelioma is a rare scrotal tumor. 80 cases of malignant mesothelioma are reported in the literature. We present a case report of a 60-year-old man with the scrotal tumor and signs of metastatic disease (cachexia and lymph node involvement). Tumor presented as a solid scotal resistance, this is not typical. The treatment was limited in the patient with advenced malignant disease and only the primary surgery was performed.
