Abstract: 

Melanotic neuroectodermal tumour of infancy (MNTI) is a rare, pigmented rapidly growing neoplasm of neural crest origin. This tumour primarily affects the maxilla and surgical excision is considered as the treatment of choice. Here we report a case of MNTI in a 6month old baby girl with histopathological features, immunohistochemical features and a brief review. A 1 year follow up was done and no recurrence was noted.
