Abstract
We report three patients with the atypical mole syndrome (AMS) [also known as dysplastic naevus or FAMMM syndrome] who presented with primary acquired melanosis (PAM). PAM is a melanocytic lesion of the conjunctiva which may progress to conjunctival melanoma. The association of this rare condition with the AMS phenotype in three individuals suggests that PAM may be a conjunctival manifestation of the AMS.
