Concurrent or synchronous angiosarcoma (AS) of breast is a rarity. Specific recognition of this neoplasm in cytological specimens is difficult and conclusive diagnosis in the absence of ancillary methods is achieved only uncommonly. Herein, we present a case of bilateral AS of breasts in a 32-year-old lady diagnosed by fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology, thus enabling a definitive surgical approach. This case report emphasizes that when aspiration smears show vasoformative features consisting of microacini, arborizing microtissue fragments and intracytoplasmic lumen against a bloody background, diagnosis can be made conclusively by FNA with immunohistochemical confirmation.

Gynandroblastoma is a rare ovarian mixed sex cord stromal tumour with very few cases reported in literature. These tumours are considered to be potentially malignant. Here a case of gynandroblastoma occurring in a 30-year female is reported who gave history of irregular menstrual bleeding and pain abdomen, there were no signs of virilisation. Computed tomography scan showed a left adnexal mixed density pelvic mass suggesting malignant ovarian tumour. Histological study revealed, the tumour was composed of mixed sex cord elements with predominantly intermediate differentiated Sertoli-Leydig cell component and a second adult type granulosa cell component.

A 53-year-old male presented with a right inguinal mass of one-year duration. The fine needle aspiration of the inguinal mass showed a highly cellular tumor composed of sheets and isolated, large round to polygonal cells with moderate pleomorphism. Many bare nuclei were seen with occasional intranuclear inclusions. A provisional diagnosis of metastasis probably of testicular tumour was made. The orchidectomy showed a brown tumor replacing the entire testis and infiltrating the epididymis. The histological features showed Leydig cell tumor without Reinke crystalloids.
