carney syndrome (cs) is an autosomal dominant multiple neoplasia syndrome that includes cardiac, endocrine, cutaneous, and neural tumors. cardiac myxomas can be seen in the course of cs. a 46-year-old female patient was admitted to our clinic with palpitation, cough, and exertional dyspnea. physical examination revealed pigmented lesions, especially scattered in the neck, chest, and extremities...

INTRODUCTION Carney complex is a multiple neoplasia syndrome involving cardiac, endocrine, neural and cutaneous tumors with a variety of pigmented skin lesions. It has an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. Approximately 7% of cardiac myxomas are related to the Carney complex. Myxomas that occur as part of the Carney complex affect both sexes with equal frequency. Cardiac myxomas with Carne...

Carney complex (CNC) is an autosomal dominantly inherited syndrome characterized by spotty skin pigmentation, cardiac and cutaneous myxoma, and endocrine overactivity. Skin pigmentation includes lentigines and blue nevi. Myxomas may occur in breast, skin and heart. Cardiac myxomas may be multiple and occur in any cardiac chamber, and are more prone to recurrence. The most common endocrine gland...

carney’s complex is a rare autosomal dominantly inherited multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome that involves spotty skin pigmentations, recurrent cardiac myxomas, endocrine hyperactivity, pituitary adenomas, peripheral nerve tumors, testicular tumors, and ovarian lesions. we present a case of sudden cardiac death in a 40 year old female with a history of carney’s complex with recurrent cardiac...
