  • Title: [Psammomatous melanotic schwannoma as indicator of a Carney complex].
    Author: Seidl M, Zolnhofer G, Gunser S, Ennker J, Schäfer W, Tietze L.
    Journal: Pathologe; 2013 Jul; 34(4):343-6. PubMed ID: 23306533.
    Abstract:
    Within a few months a 31-year-old female patient was diagnosed with a psammomatous melanotic schwannoma, an atrial myxoma and microfollicular adenomas in both thyroid lobes. Therefore, sufficient diagnostic criteria of a Carney complex were fulfilled. The Carney complex is an inherited autosomal dominant disorder with highly variable phenotypes, which was initially described by Carney in 1985 as a complex of myxomas, spotty skin pigmentation and endocrine overactivity. Pathologists should consider this differential diagnosis in reports when confronted with a psammomatous melanotic schwannoma.
