RESUMO
Melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy (MNTI) is a neonatal tumor with progressive growth and high recurrence rate. Aggressive growth and localization of tumor often lead to significant cosmetic defects of cranial and facial bones. The authors report MNTI in a 6-month-old boy with lesion of the large fontanel. Total resection was followed by recurrence after 3 weeks. Repeated resection with subsequent radiotherapy was performed. The follow-up period was 6 months after repeated resection. There was no tumor growth throughout this period. Considering this case and world experience, we can conclude that treatment strategy for MNTI is still unclear.
