The aim of this case report is to present as case of plasmacytoid at ectopic minor salivary gland in the neck which is a rare neoplasm with uncommon presentation of site.

Here authors are discussing a case of 10-year-old female who presented in our institute with complain of swelling over right mid cervical region which was clinically suspected as reactive cervical lymph node. Patient was evaluated further and cytologically diagnosed as a case of plasmacytoid myoepithelioma. It was also confirmed as a case of plasmacytoid myoepithelioma after histopathology and immunohistochemistry studies. Plasmacytoid myoepithelioma at ectopic minor salivary gland site in the neck is uncommon presentation and only a limited number of cases have been reported in literature.

Rare Case Report

ABSTRACT Filariasis is endemic worldwide with the main focus in the tropical areas. Reported cases of filarial lymphadenopathy are caused by Wuchereria bancrofti, which is limited to the groin, the femoral triangle, and axilla, causing lymphedema of lower and upper limbs, and is usually diagnosed clinically and by the presence of microfilaria in peripheral blood smear. We are reporting an unusual case of cervical lymphadenitis, which on fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) showed microfilaria of a rare species, Brugia malayi. The purpose of this article is to make clinicians aware of this rare disease as one of the differential diagnoses of cervical lymphadenopathy in an endemic country like India.
