Melanotic neuroectodermal tumour of infancy is a rare, pigmented neoplasm generally arising in infants during the first year of life. The cytological features are rarely described in the literature. This case due to its rarity and unusual site emphasising the cytopathological features and the necessity of histology for differentiating it from other round cell tumours has been presented. Diagn.

Article Synopsis
- * A case study of a 10-week-old boy presented an aggressively growing tumor, leading to a carefully planned surgical resection involving innovative techniques such as a piezoelectric saw to ensure precise removal without damaging surrounding structures.
- * The complete excision of the tumor was successful with negative margins, emphasizing that thorough removal is crucial to prevent recurrence, and demonstrating the advantages of advanced surgical tools for better patient outcomes.
