This is a report of a patient who manifests all of the features of Carney's syndrome, including gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), extra-adrenal paragangliomas, and pulmonary chondromas. The patient underwent surgical resection of a gastric GIST; a retroperitoneal, nonfunctional paraganglioma; and a mediastinal, catecholamine-secreting paraganglioma (pheochromocytoma). Recently, new gastric GISTs were diagnosed by endoscopic, ultrasound-guided, fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) biopsy and were resected. Recurrence of stromal tumors following complete resection is common in Carney's syndrome and presents considerable management challenges. This case illustrates several important points: (1) Carney's syndrome, although rare, should be considered in patients with foregut GISTs; (2) GISTs associated with Carney's syndrome, like sporadic gastric GISTs, may have a more indolent clinical course; and (3) EUS-FNA may be useful for the diagnosis and management of GISTs in this syndrome.
We have reported a case of chondroma arising from the falx cerebri in a 60-year-old female with no neurological symptom. The tumor was revealed as a round mass, attached to the falx cerebri, with marginally scattered calcification on CT scan and with slight enhancement on MRI images. And cerebral angiogram presented a mass with no tumor stain on the external carotid angiography against our preoperative diagnosis of falx meningioma. A subtotal removal of the mass was performed with the diagnosis of chondroma on pathological examination. The chondroma arising from the falx cerebri is extremely rare with only 15 reported cases in the literature. We have presented the first case in Japan and reviewed the previous reports.
