Abstract

The melanotic neuroectodermal tumour of infancy (MNTI) is a fairly rare, benign, pigmented lesion that commonly occurs in the anterior maxilla of infants younger than 1 year and mainly in the first 6 months of life.Like melanocytes and nevus cells, these cells have their origin in the neural crest.This lesion has been treated with surgical excision with good results.
