Abstract
MNTI is an uncommon tumor mainly of infants. Surgery is the primary modality of treatment. Chemotherapy has been tried for recurrent/residual tumors. The chemotherapeutic response of 3 infants treated at a center is discussed here. All 3 infants showed good response to chemotherapy. In 2 of them complete residual tumor resection became possible; 2 of them are alive and tumor regression continues. One child had local recurrence later and was lost for follow-up.
