The aim of the article is to present a rare case of filariasis presenting as a nodule over arm in a pregnant lady which was diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology. Lymphatic filariasis is a major public health problem in India with most infections being caused by Wuchereria bancrofti. Clinical manifestations depend on the area of lymphatic involvement and the duration of infection. The present case is being presented because on clinical examination there was absence of adjacent enlarged lymph nodes, microfilariaemia or peripheral blood eosinophilia, so it was misdiagnosed as lipoma and only on cytological examination microfilaria of Wuchereria bancrofti was noted.

The aim of the article is to present a rare case of lingual thyroid in a young boy by fine needle aspiration cytology. Lingual thyroid is a rare anomaly with a reported overall prevalence of 1 in 100,000 and is seven times more common in females than in males. The diagnosis of lingual thyroid is usually made clinically, fine needle aspiration cytology and radionuclide scanning is used to confirm the diagnosis. Even though most of the lingual thyroid glands contain histologically normal tissue, there are reports of carcinoma arising within a lingual thyroid. So, early diagnosis and treatment of lingual thyroid is essential with regular follow up.
