Key result
Recurrent cardiac myxomas and skin manifestations reveal Carney complex in a 26-year-old man.
Why the study?
Carney complex is a rare syndrome characterized by myxomas, skin pigmentation, and endocrine adenomas requiring detailed case documentation.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report highlights the clinical presentation of Carney complex, including recurrent cardiac myxomas and characteristic skin findings.
Prompts Carney complex screening in recurrent myxoma cases; extends phenotypic descriptions but leaves generalizability open.
Carney complex is a rare syndrome characterized by myxomas, skin pigmentation and endocrine adenomas. We report a case of Carney complex in a 26‐year‐old man who exhibited skin myxomas on the buttocks, abdomen and neck, and spotty skin pigmentation on the lips. Past medical history revealed that surgical excisions of heart myxomas had been performed twice and calcifications of the testes had been noted.
