Trying to find unique extensions or formats in a deep folder structure

I have a deep folder structure on my RHEL 5.x file system which is supposed to have only word(*.doc, *.docx) or pdf(*.pdf) files. But I want to check if there are files with any other extensions which exist. Is that possible?

Thanks in advance

find /path/to/folder -not \( -iname \*.doc -o -iname \*.docx -o -iname \*.pdf \)
