“…Hiroto et al reported a case with multiple bilateral granular shadows, but there was no specific mention of therapeutic intervention for the remaining granular shadows other than those which were excised and biopsied [5] . Helmy et al reported the results of a biopsy of bilateral nodules and finding of GIST 21 years later; therefore, a molecular targeted drug (imatinib) was administered for 2 years [6] . The present case involves a nodule that grew and multiplied over 2 years without recurrence in the patient's lung or other signs of Carney's triad, such as GIST or adrenal paraganglioma, 26 months after lower lobectomy.…”

En el síndrome de Carney, los condromas ocurren en el 76 % de los pacientes y son de comportamiento benigno, pueden ser únicos, múltiples, unilaterales o bilaterales, no muestran preferencia por ningún lóbulo pulmonar, no causan síntomas y pueden curarse mediante cirugía 1,3,7,10,11 .…”
