RESUMO
Lymphoepithelioid cell lymphoma Lennert's Lymphoma is a rare morphological variant of peripheral T-cell lymphoma characterized by the presence of numerous clusters of epithelioid histiocytes without formation of discrete granulomas and the intervening atypical lymphocytes. Lennert's lymphoma is often misinterpreted as granulomatous lymphadenitis or Hodgkin's disease. This report describes fine needle aspiration cytology and histological findings in a case of Lennert's lymphoma

Aspergillus is being increasingly recognised as a pathogenic entity in the nose and paranasal sinuses. In its pathologic form it may present; either as a fulminant, highly aggressive invasive disease, an aspergilloma; allergic sinusitis or; as a slowly progressive invasive aspergillosis seen in apparently healthy individuals. The progression and prognosis of the disease depends on the location, duration, immunocompetence and allergic factors. This report recounts our experience with two cases of invasive aspergillosis in non-immuno compromised patients. Its differentiation from a neoplastic lesion may prove difficult at times and repeated fungal cultures may be needed to establish a diagnosis. The main stay of treatment being surgical resection followed by antifungal chemotherapy
