Key result
Two patients were reported with incomplete expression of Carney's triad, a rare association of pulmonary chondroma, gastric stromal sarcoma, and extra-adrenal paraganglioma.
Case Report (n=2)
Describes two cases of incomplete Carney triad, a rare association of multifocal pulmonary chondroma, gastric stromal sarcoma, and extra-adrenal paraganglioma.
Alerts clinicians to incomplete Carney triad variants; leaves open genetic and surveillance questions for prospective study.
A curious association of three rare tumours was described by Carney in 1977. 'Carney's triad' characteristically includes multifocal pulmonary chondroma, gastric stromal sarcoma and extra-adrenal paraganglioma. Patients may exhibit complete or incomplete expression of the triad. Carney acknowledged that, of 79 patients, only 17 possessed all three tumours. We report here two patients with incomplete expression of Carney's triad.

Sawhney et al. (2009) conducted a case report in Incomplete Carney's triad (n=2). Two patients were reported with incomplete expression of Carney's triad, a rare association of pulmonary chondroma, gastric stromal sarcoma, and extra-adrenal paraganglioma.
