The case of a 4-month-old male infant treated with combined surgery and chemotherapy for an aggressive recurrent melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy (MNTI) on the top of the alveolar process of the mandible with a long-term follow-up is presented. Initial treatment comprised conservative local excision and curettage of the mandible. After several local recurrences and because radical surgical excision would give gross functional and aesthetic mutilation, finally complete, long-lasting remission was achieved with adjuvant chemotherapy, according to a neuroblastoma protocol (10-year follow-up). The reason for this protocol was because molecular genetic studies of this tumor showed loss of heterozygosity of chromosome 1p and gain of chromosome 7q analogue to neuroblastomas. A combination of surgery and chemotherapy should be the preferred treatment in case of a recurrence MNTI because optimal functional and aesthetic outcome.
