Department of Thoracic Surgery, Saitama Cancer Center, Saitama, Japan.

Published: June 2014

A 62-year-old woman, who had multiple pulmonary nodules noted 6 years earlier, and surgery for a gastrointestinal stromal tumor 2 years earlier, was found to have enlargement of her pulmonary nodules. Surgery was selected to make a definite diagnosis. Thoracoscopic segmentectomy of right segments 9 and 10 was performed, and pulmonary chondroma was diagnosed. Carney designated the combination of 3 rare soft tissue tumors (gastric leiomyosarcoma, pulmonary chondroma, and extraadrenal paraganglioma) as a syndrome. This patient may have had an incomplete type of Carney's triad with 2 lesions in the stomach and lung.
