Incomplete Form of Carney's Triad: Clinical and Morphologic Analysis of a Case in Mexico

We report on the case of a 26-yr-old Mexican woman with a gastric stromal tumor associated with a carotid body paraganglioma who remained asymptomatic for 34 yr following partial gastric resection. She presented with a recurrent gastric stromal tumor and probable liver metastasis. She also had an ov...

Zusammenfassung:We report on the case of a 26-yr-old Mexican woman with a gastric stromal tumor associated with a carotid body paraganglioma who remained asymptomatic for 34 yr following partial gastric resection. She presented with a recurrent gastric stromal tumor and probable liver metastasis. She also had an ovarian serous cystadenoma and breast fibroadenoma. This case represents an incomplete form of Carney's triad and demonstrates the usual indolent behavior of gastric stromal tumors associated with this condition.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
