    Abstract

    Carney's triad is a rare nonhereditary condition affecting young females. Its prevalence is less than one in a million population.1 It is characterized by gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), pulmonary chondroma, and extra-adrenal paraganglioma. The genetic alterations in this triad are yet to be understood. It is more appropriately classified as a novel multiple endocrine neoplasia. We report an interesting case of a young lady incidentally detected with tumors composing the triad.
