Zusammenfassung: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.

We report here two patients with incomplete expression of Carney's triad.
