Bilateral testicular injuries are rare. However, the incidence of these injuries has been increasing in wartime. We describe the case of gunshot wound of the both testicle caused by high velocity bullets. The patient was managed by surgical exploration, debridement and repaired of both testis using tunica vaginalis. During the follow up, the left testis was not viable and there was a need for orchiectomy; in a follow-up of 4 months, ultrasonography showed a viable right testis with minimal atrophic change and the patient reported to have normal erection with borderline hormonal function. We describe this case of bilateral testicular rupture, which was repaired using tunica vaginalis as graft, with attention to the management and outcome of this injury process.

Primary pericardial mesothelioma is a highly aggressive and rare neoplasm that arises from the pericardial mesothelial cell and has a poor prognosis. The diagnosis is usually established by histological and immunohistochemical studies. Malignant mesothelioma most frequently occurs from the pleura (90%), less frequently from the peritoneum and pericardium (6%-10%), and very rarely from the tunica vaginalis in the testis.

Pediatric Urology Department, Anhui Provincial Children's Hospital, Hefei, Anhui, People's Republic of China.
Background: Chylous effusion is a rare condition characterized by the accumulation of lymphatic fluid in body cavities, often due to trauma, malignancy, or congenital lymphatic abnormalities. The association of chylous effusion with a patent processus vaginalis (PV) in pediatric patients is exceptionally uncommon, presenting unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
Objective: To report a rare case of bilateral patent processus vaginalis with chylous effusion in a pediatric patient, detailing the diagnostic process, surgical management, and outcomes, while contributing to the limited literature on this condition.
