Malignant mesothelioma is an aggressive, treatment-resistant tumour, which is increasing in frequency throughout the world. Although the main risk factor is asbestos exposure, a virus, simian virus 40 (SV40), could have a role. Mesothelioma has an unusual molecular pathology with loss of tumour suppressor genes being the predominant pattern of lesions,

Malignant gonadal mesothelioma
Current Treatment Options in Oncology, 2002Malignant mesothelioma of the gonads is a rare and highly lethal disease. Most of these tumors arise from the tunica vaginalis, which is a continuation of the mesothelium similar to the pleura and the peritoneum. However, intratesticular and ovarian mesotheliomas have also been described.
