INTRODUCTION: Carney's triad is a rare pathogenic entity which consists of the association in young women of multiple condromatosis in the lung, gastric leiomyosarcoma, and extradrenal paraganglioma; although the presence of three at the same time is not required for its diagnosis. CASE REPORT: We present the case of a 27-year-old woman who was diagnosed of pulmonary multiple hamartomatosis and gastric stromal tumor. DISCUSSION: A review of the literature shows the most important prognosis factors and therapeutic options. Surgery for gastrointestinal stromal tumors and extradrenal paraganglioma seems to be the best treatment up to date.
