Ependymomas usually arise from the ependymal lining cells of the ventricular system and central canal of the spinal cord. Supratentorial ependymoma is a rare entity with the variable clinical course. In a small number of cases, ependymoma arises from supratentorial parenchyma. Only a few cases are reported in the literature. We report a case of 3-year-old girl with left frontal mass. Total removal of the mass lesion was performed without any neurological deficit. Pathological examination of the excised tumor was consistent with anaplastic ependymoma. We have discussed management strategy of this rare entity.

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare but potentially fatal entity characterized by an unregulated activation of the immune system. In the adult population, it is most commonly secondary to infectious, autoimmune, or neoplastic diseases. We present a case of a 23-year-old female diagnosed with infectious mononucleosis and hospitalized due to a persistent three-week fever and malaise with a new onset of jaundice and findings compatible with acute hepatitis and hepatosplenomegaly.
