Melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy: Does enucleation alone suffice?

Abstract

Melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy (MNTI) is a rare melanin-containing mesenchymal tumor of neural crest origin. We present a case of MNTI in a 1-year-old girl. It was managed successfully with conservative excision (enucleation).
