Evaluation of a Lung Nodule in the Setting of Metastatic Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor: Surgical Considerations in Carney’s Triad

In 1977, Carney et al. first described an association of gastric epithelioid leiomyosarcoma or gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), pulmonary chondroma, and extra-adrenal paraganglioma. This previously unrecognized disorder came to be known as Carney’s triad. We describe a case of a 27-year-old fe...

Sumario:In 1977, Carney et al. first described an association of gastric epithelioid leiomyosarcoma or gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), pulmonary chondroma, and extra-adrenal paraganglioma. This previously unrecognized disorder came to be known as Carney’s triad. We describe a case of a 27-year-old female with metastatic GIST, diagnosed with Carney’s triad following pulmonary wedge resection, and highlight the surgical implication of this rare disease association.
