Abstract
Fournier gangrene is a rare, life-threatening necrotizing fasciitis that usually involves the perineal or genital areas. Malignant mesothelioma in the inguinal and paratesticular region is a very rare entity and manifesting as Fournier’s gangrene is still rare. Here we present a case of malignant mesothelioma which presented clinically as Fournier’s gangrene.
