Abstract
We report on the case of a 26-yr-old Mexican woman with a gastric stromal t umor associated with a carotid body paraganglioma who remained asymptomatic for 34 yr following partial gastric resection. She presented with a recurr ent gastric stromal tumor and probable liver metastasis. She also had an ov arian serous cystadenoma and breast fibroadenoma. This case represents an i ncomplete form of Carney's triad and demonstrates the usual indolent behavi or of gastric stromal tumors associated with this condition.
