ABSTRACT
Solitary plasmacytomas are more frequent in males than females. We are describing a solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma of the breast in a 50 year old woman on fine needle aspiration cytology and confirmed on histology. During 6 months of fallow up, no other involvement was detected in the bone marrow or in any other site. Extramedullary plasmacytoma occur in lymph node, lung, thyroid, gastrointestinal tract testis, and skin. Extramedullary plasmacytoma of breast is a rare lesion. Especially those are not associated with multipal myeloma. Most reported cases represent secondary involvement or initial manifestation of the multipal myeloma.

Synovial cysts are frequently seen and are most commonly seen at the back of the knee where it is known as popliteal cyst. But synovial cyst with fungal granuloma is rather rare. This case report illustrates an occurrence of synovial cyst with fungal granuloma, in a 40 years old male at the dorsal aspect of the right ankle joint. Clinical examination revealed lesion about 4x4x4cms in size over the dorsal aspect of the right ankle joint. Simple excision of the lesion was done with the clinical diagnosis of lipoma. Microscopic examination revealed synovial lining hyperplasia and subintimal tissue showed granulomatous reaction with foreign body giant cells and black colored fungal colonies. Patients did not attend further, so follow up was not available.
