AB  - A 16-year-old male presented with a 3-month history of an asymptomatic, enlarging 
      conjunctival lesion. An excisional biopsy was performed and histologic and 
      immunohistochemical examination showed characteristic features of a peripheral 
      primitive neuroectodermal tumour (PNET) adjacent to a benign compound naevus. 
      FISH analysis, demonstrating a split-signal at 22q12, confirmed the diagnosis. 
      Staging investigations were negative confirming the primary nature of the lesion. 
      The patient was treated with local wide re-excision and chemotherapy. He remains 
      alive and well 29 months after initial resection.
