Melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy: report of two cases and review of literature.

Melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy (MNTI) is a rare, distinctive neoplasm containing melanin; it primarily affects the maxilla of the infants during the first year of life. Approximately 150 instances of this tumor are reported in the medical literature. Genesis of the tumor is obscure and the diagnosis is challenging for the pathologist. Two cases operated by the first author are presented, and the diagnostic features and treatment alternatives of MNTI discussed.

Role of endoscopic ultrasound in the diagnosis and staging of pancreatic cancer.

Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) is a relatively new modality. Its high resolution makes it possible to detect tumors of 5mm in diameter otherwise missed by other imaging modalities. It is more accurate than computerized tomography (CT) scan, Transabdominal Ultrasound (US) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in diagnosing pancreatic lesions, especially those less than 20mm in diameter. EUS can be used to obtain pancreatic and nodal tissue using ultrasound- guided fine needle aspiration increasing the diagnostic yield and helping determining further management. It can also determine vascular involvement by pancreatic cancer with a sensitivity of more than 90%. The current indications for EUS in the diagnosis and management of pancreatic cancer will be reviewed.
