Melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy.
We present a case of malignant melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy arising in the skull and secondarily invading brain. The central tumor was hyperintense to brain on T1-weighted images and hypointense to brain on T2-weighted images. This appearance corresponded to the surgical and histologic findings of melanin-containing tumor.
