Epithelioid gastric stromal tumours of the antrum in young females with the Carney triad: A report of three new cases with mutational analysis and comparative genomic hybridization

Abstract excerpt

Carney triad is a rare non-hereditary condition affecting young females and characterized by metachronous or synchronous occurrence of epithelioid gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs), pulmonary chondroma and extra-adrenal paraganglioma. The genetic alterations in Carney triad-related GISTs have not been well studied. We evaluated GISTs from three females with incomplete Carney triad for KIT and PDGFRA...
