Obviously it is clear that you should add suffix -ra after masi,pisi etc. to make them plural.

Ok, you can say "masipisira" for all type of aunts. New Bengali is now absorbing the word "aunt" but still it is not widely accepted.
So the word will be : aunts came to my house= masipisira amar bari asben |

Asker: i meant is it possible to say it all in one word? if i want to say about masi and pisi together can i use one word to say "aunts" which will means masi, pisi, mami and others? i need all in one. otherways it won't sound good (too long) to mention every masi and pisi in one sentense
