Highlights the importance of early diagnosis and genetic counseling for Carney complex in young patients presenting with cardiac myxomas.
May prompt genetic evaluation for Carney complex in young cardiac myxoma patients; leaves open prospective screening studies.
F I G U R E 1 (A) Transthoracic echocardiogram showing a myxoma in the left atrium in the apical four-chamber view.The large mass in the left atrium obstructs blood flow to the left ventricle.Histopathological aspect of the tumor after its resection confirmed the diagnosis of myxoma on macroscopy (B) and microscopy (C).The red arrows indicate myxoma cells.recurrence of the cardiac tumors.Accurate and early diagnosis of CC is vital to a better outcome for these patients, and genetic counseling to patients themselves and their family members is also important.
