AB Carney's syndrome consists of a combination of three rare tumours: gastric leiomyosarcoma, pulmonary chondroma and catecholamine-secreting paraganglioma. We describe a young woman with Carney's syndrome, who developed a lung abscess, due to obstruction of a bronchus by a chondroma, 11 yrs after having had a partial gastrectomy for a leiomyosarcoma.
