Melanotic neuroectodermal tumor (MNET) of infants is a rare benign neoplasm detected mainly in children of the first year of life. Standard therapy consists of radical surgical removal of the tumor. Currently, the treatment of patients with recurrent and unresectable forms of the disease is relevant. The number of publications using polychemotherapy and radiation therapy is extremely limited. This article describes a clinical case of the occurrence of MNET in the anterior fontanel with a recurrent course. Proton radiation therapy was chosen as an alternative treatment method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
