Sumario:While generally benign, occasional aggressive histologic features in the melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy (MNTI) have been used to justify a diagnosis of malignancy; this could lead to overtreatment. We report a case with presumed aggressive histologic features that did not recur following conservative treatment. This adds evidence that histologic features are not predictive of clinical behavior in MNTI.
