BACKGROUND: @entity980 is the most common childhood primary @entity2694 , but the occurrence of this @entity5 in the conjunctiva is rare. METHODS: A 14-year-old @entity1 presented with a visible case of conjunctival mass in the left eye. The year before, the @entity1 was referred to another hospital for a biopsy of a @entity361 in the same site, which was periodically checked after the excision. We intervened by partially removing the conjunctival mass. RESULTS: The histopathology revealed a @entity980 . The @entity1 underwent chemotherapy and fractionated radiotherapy. The follow-up after three years revealed that the @entity1 remained clinically @entity5 -free, with no ocular complication from the radiotherapy. CONCLUSION: It is evident that by not excising the @entity5 in its entirety it is therefore possible to preserve the underlying rectus muscles and not interfere with ocular motility. Subsequent radiotherapy and chemotherapy helped to destroy any @entity5 . Alternatively, surgical excision of the mass alone could lead to recurrence of the @entity5 after some months or years.
