This case series highlights the diverse clinical manifestations of Carney complex, including cardiac myxomas and potentially fatal metastatic melanotic schwannomas.
The authors report three patients with features of the Carney complex: cardiac myxomas (n = 2), multicentric (n = 1) or recurrent (n = 1); pigmented skin lesions (n = 2); cutaneous myxomas (n = 2); melanotic schwannoma (n = 2); and sonographic evidence of multicentric, large cell, calcifying Sertoli cell tumors of the testes (n = 1). The initial component of the complex was cutaneous myxoma (n = 1), cardiac myxoma (n = 1), or psammomatous melanotic schwannoma (n = 1). Two patients died of metastatic schwannoma.
