Abstract

Melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy (MNTI) is a rare tumor cathegorized as a benign tumor by the World Health Organization. We describe a case of MNTI arising in the mandible of a 3-month-old boy. After admission, the tumor grew very rapidly. The tumor was surgically removed and measured 20×25 mm. The bone surface after complete removal of the tumor showed no specific or abnormal findings. The histopathological diagnosis was MNTI. After 3 years of follow-up, no local recurrence or metastasis has been noted.
