Carney triad

Not to be confused with Carney complex or Carney-Stratakis syndrome.

Carney triad (CT) is characterized by the coexistence of three types of neoplasms, mainly in young women,[1] including gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor, pulmonary chondroma, and extra-adrenal paraganglioma.[2] The underlying genetic defect remains elusive. CT is distinct from Carney complex and Carney-Stratakis syndrome.
