Searching for directories containing specified files?

Hope this is an interesting question. I want to find a directory containing all the data. So far I have done the following:

Find multiple files in unix ...

find . -type f \( -name "*cache" -o -name "*xml" -o -name "*html" \)

Search only directories containing specified files ...

find . -type f -name '*.pdf' |sed 's#\(.*\)/.*#\1#' |sort -u

How can I create a command that will give me a directory that contains all the specified files ... (The files should be in the given directory, but not in the subdirectory .. and all the files listed should be present)
