  • Title: [Carney's Complex: familial cardiac myxoma].
    Author: Guerra MS, Santos N, Neves F, Carlos Mota J, Miranda JA, Vouga L.
    Journal: Rev Port Cir Cardiotorac Vasc; 2006; 13(2):79-81. PubMed ID: 16862261.
    Abstract:
    The Carney Complex is a very rare autosomal dominant disease including multiple neoplasia syndrome. This syndrome was initially described in 1985 under the rubric "...the complex of myxomas, spotty pigmentation, and endocrine overactivity". We present a case report of an old woman with Carney Complex who had the characteristic features of facial hirsutism and acromegalic facies, a large pigmented swelling over the face and a cardiac myxoma arising from the left atrium. We emphasize the need for periodic echocardiographic screening of patients and family members.
