Melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy is a rare pigmented neoplasm occurring in infants before 1 year of age. It is a rapidly growing tumor that most frequently affects the craniofacial skeleton. Although melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy is benign in the vast majority of cases, inadequate excision, occasional multicentricity, and a small malignant potential result in a fairly high recurrence rate. On the basis of data obtained from the literature and our clinical experience, we advocate an aggressive surgical approach consisting of complete surgical excision when vital structures are not involved. Histopathologic confirmation of complete excision is mandatory to minimize the risk of recurrence and provide the patient with curative treatment and minimal morbidity.
