An unusual case of complete Carney's triad in a 14-year-old boy.
Carney's triad represents the association of gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor, pulmonary chondroma, and extraadrenal paraganglioma. Only 79 cases of this rare condition have been described. Here, the authors describe the unusual case of a 14-year-old boy who presented with a complete Carney's triad. This is only the second reported case in the world literature of a patient manifesting a complete Carney's triad at presentation. The management of each tumor is discussed.
