Abstract
A 28-year-old female was admitted with abnormal chest shadows. The series of her chest X-rays showed slow-growing multiple calcified tumors in the right upper lobe. Right upper lobectomy was performed. Pathologically, all the lesions were plumonary hamartomas. Her medical history showed a total gastrectomy for multiple gastric leiomyosarcoma at the age of 13 years with no reccurrence. Although no evidence of an extra-adrenal paraganglioma could be identified, two criteria of Carney's triad were satisfied.
In patients who have one or two of the three rare neoplasms that constitute this syndrome, careful follow-up should be continued to search for the other neoplasms.
