Abstract

We describe a 36-year-old woman with multiple gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors, hepatic and lymphatic metastasis, and a mediastinal paraganglioma as a presentation of an incomplete Carney triad. We present our therapeutic approach, with emphasis on the surgical and oncologic specificities of this syndrome.
