What is Carney Triad (Pentad) and Catecholamine-Secreting Paragangliomas about?

Carney triad (described in 1977) is a rare, nonfamilial, multitumoral syndrome, with three tumors in the initial description: gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), pulmonary chondroma, and extraadrenal paraganglioma (PGL). Subsequently, two other tumors, adrenal cortical adenoma and esophageal leiomyoma, were added as components—thus actually Carney triad is a “pentad.” Although it is rare, it is important for endocrinologists to be aware of this disorder because of the links to PGL and adrenocortical tumors.
