Abstract | OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the present study was to compare the immunohistochemical expression of cell cycle-associated proteins in neuroblastic and melanocytic cell populations of melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy. STUDY DESIGN: RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that MDM-2 expression may be important for the development of melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy and that the melanocytic cell population, not the neuroblastic one, is the proliferative component of the tumor.
