Abstract

A 6-month-old baby girl presented with a swelling arising from the oral cavity. On examination there was a hard bluish mass arising from the maxilla. An FNABC (Fine needle aspiration biopsy cytology) was suggestive of a melanotic progonoma. The tumour was resected and the histopathology examination confirmed the same. The case is being reported for its rarity and the classical clinical and pathological findings.
