[Carney triad; report of a case].
We report a case of Carney triad which is very rare disease composed of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), pulmonary chondroma and paraganglioma. A 15-year-old girl was reffered for treatment with multiple tumors in the left lung. At the age of 13, she underwent total gastrestomy for GIST. At that time multiple pulmonary tumors have already developed and made a diagnosis of chondroma. Progressive enlargement of their size and persistent bloody sputum made her received operation. Finally she underwent left pneumonectomy. In general all 3 tumors have manifested for a long time. Gastric tumors and paragangliomas are often lethal. This shows the necessity of intensive and long-term follow-up.
