Abstract:
The melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy (MNTI) is a rare osteolytic pigmented neoplasm that most frequently arises from the anterior maxillary alveolar ridge. It presents in the first few months of life, and usually follows a benign course. We present a 5-month-old girl with a melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy of maxilla.
