Abstract
Melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy (MNTI) is a rare but well-d ocumented lesion of neuroectodermal derivation. Maturation of the neur al elements has been reported only occasionally. We report a case of M NTI of the maxilla showing maturation of neural elements to ganglionic cells. (C) 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
