[Carney's syndrome disclosed by hemoperitoneum].

The authors report a case of Carney's triad in a blood-group O woman who successively sustained a) at age 13, a multicentric gastric leiomyoblastoma revealed by an hemoperitoneum; b) 6 years later, a pulmonary chondroma diagnosed by chest standard roentgenogram and CT scan, associated with leiomyoblastoma recurrence and hepatic metastases; c) 10 years later, a juxta-carotid tumor of unknown (paraganglion?) origin. This patient is presently in good clinical condition, in spite of hepatic metastases known for 5 years. Based on this case and the 33 previously reported cases, the main features of this very unusual entity are analyzed.
