Carney complex cardiac myxomas recur in the LVOT 2 years after surgical excision.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Highlights the rare presentation of multicentric cardiac myxomas in Carney complex and the high risk of recurrence requiring close echocardiographic follow-up.
May warrant close post-excision echocardiographic surveillance in Carney complex; leaves open standardized follow-up protocols.
Carney complex is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by multiple tumors, including cardiac and extracardiac myxomas, skin lesions, and various endocrine disorders. We are reporting a 21-year-old female patient with past surgical history significant for excision of a cutaneous myxoma who presented with multicentric cardiac myxomas involving the four cardiac chambers. She also presented with endocrinal disorders in the form of an enlarged right lobe of the thyroid, hyperthyroid state, and an incidentally noted adrenal cyst; hence, she was diagnosed with carney complex syndrome.

Saleh et al. (2018) conducted a case report in Carney Complex with multicentric cardiac myxomas (n=1). Surgical excision was evaluated on Recurrence of cardiac myxoma. Surgical excision of multicentric cardiac myxomas in a 21-year-old female with Carney complex was followed by recurrence in the left ventricular outflow tract after 2 years.
