Melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy (MNTI) is a relatively uncommon osteolytic-pigmented neoplasm that primarily affects the jaws of infants. The early onset and its rapid disfiguring spread necessitate early diagnosis. A 4-month-old male child reported with the complaint of swelling in the right back tooth region of the upper jaw, which rapidly increased in size causing disfigurement of the face.

Cytology features of childhood jaw tumors are infrequently reported in the literature. Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) has been used with good results in the differential diagnosis of bone lesions, being an excellent tool for the diagnosis of metastases and in the frontline approach to primary lesions. We report 3 cases of young children aged 3 years (case 1), 5 months (case 2), and 15 years (case 3) with jaw tumors diagnosed by FNAC.
