Popis:	A case of melanotic neuroectodermal tumour of infancy (MNTI) which occurred in the left lower jaw of a 15-months old child was studied by electron microscopy and immunohistochemical methods to verify the neural crest origin of this tumour. Two cell population were observed: pigment melanocyte-like cells and non-pigmented nerve-like cells. Immunohistochemical analysis with neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and S-100 protein visualized two cell subtypes in the non-pigmented cell population. The combined ultrastructural findings and immunohistochemical data confirm the neural crest origin of MNTI.
