Testicular Mesothelioma Symptoms
Unlike peritoneal, pleural and pericardial mesothelioma where there is a list of common symptoms, there are no defined symptoms for testicular mesothelioma. One of the most distinguished testicular mesothelioma symptom is appearance of testicular lumps in the testicles. This is the only recognized sign by which doctors can diagnose testicular mesothelioma. Testicular lumps are usually found when a patient undergoes surgery or a biopsy.

This is because it is classified as a "clinically aggressive type of cancer" and can spread and grow very fast
