RESUMO
Pyrexia of unknown origin has always been a challenging problem to diagnose for physicians. Here we present a case of a splenic tumor, which after histopathology and immunohistochemistry, two possibilities were considered, a diffuse large cell lymphoma--plasmablastic variant and second an anaplastic plasmacytoma. The patient was treated with chemotherapy and on followup he has no evidence of recurrence or any residual lesion.

Primary mucinous carcinoma of skin is a rare adnexal tumor arising from the eccrine sweat gland. The tumors grow slowly and have low rates of local recurrence and rare chances of distant metastasis. The authors report a 70-year-old man with primary mucinous skin carcinoma who had a relapse in bone marrow 19 months after initial treatment.
