Abstract
A 25-year-old woman complaining of a cough showed abnormal shadows on a chest radiograph. Chest and abdominal CT scans revealed multiple, calcified, round-shaped tumors of the right upper lobe and a submucosal tumor in the stomach. Right upper and middle lobectomy of the lung and partial gastrectomy were performed. Pathologically, the lesions of the lung were pulmonary chondromas, and the lesion of the stomach was a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Carney's triad is a rare syndrome and characteristically includes multifocal pulmonary chondroma, gastric stromal sarcoma, and extra-adrenal paraganglioma. Patients are diagnosed by having at least two out of Carney's triad. We describe a case of incomplete Carney's triad with reference to the literature.
