It is a relatively rare pathology and is also rare to metastasise. MNTI can be seen in various locations within the oral cavity, the most common being maxillary jaw. Presently advent technology of has enabled us to utilise various different modalities ranging from radical excision, incomplete resection to chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is preferred in cases of contraindication of surgical approaches. The results regarding each approach can be mixed, successful tumour regression or complete failure. The present article focuses on successful subtotal excision of MNTI in a one year old infant.
