ABSTRACT
We present a case of a 5 months old infant who presented with difficulty in breathing and a visible intranasal swelling. Clinical examination revealed a reddish mass medial to the middle turbinate in the left nasal cavity. MRI was done and a provisional diagnosis of nasal glioma was suggested. The mass was surgically excised and sent for histopathology which showed it to be comprising of astrocytes and neuroglial fibers intermixed with a fibrovascular connective tissue stroma. The presence of Glial fibrillary acid protein (GFAP) confirmed the presence of glial tissue.

A two-month-old girl was operated for a left-sided eventration of the diaphragm. At surgery, a mass representing an extralobar pulmonary sequestration (EPS) was found inferior to the left lobe of the lung and was excised. Histopathological examination of the resected specimen showed presence of a type II congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) within it. A review of the relevant literature is presented.

We report a case of nodular hidradenoma in a 90 year old male, presenting with an eyelid swelling. The cytomorphological features are described with special emphasis on cytoplasmic granularity and tubule formation as an important feature in diagnosing and differentiating eccrine tumors from other adnexal neoplasms on FNAC.
