Abstract

Malignant ectomesenchymoma is a rare tumor reported in head-neck, abdomen and perineal regions. It consists of mesenchymal and neuroectodermal elements. In this tumor group, neoplastic cells are differentiated into neuronal cells. It also has at least one malignant mesenchymal element, generally rhabdomyosarcoma. In this report we present a neonate with ectomesenchymoma.
