The Melanotic Progonoma is not every common. It is frequent under a year of age however it has been in patients over 23 years old. It has several names. This tumor does not give metastasis, it is identified benign. It is located in several places like the anterior mediastinum, oropharynx, epididymis, particularly in the oral cavity. It is frequent in black people, less in the whites and exceptional in the indians. The kind of tumor has occasionally hormonal evident like acid vanil mandelico and androgens hypersecretion, with constant microscopic morphology. It cames from the neutral crest cells, then we think that the better name will be Neurocrestom Melanotic Infantile.
