  • Title: [Carney's complex (myxomas, pigmented spots and endocrine hyperactivity). Apropos of a partial form in monozygotic twins].
    Author: Gaillard F, Bouc M, de Lajartre AY, Audouin AF, Nomballais MF, Mussini-Montpellier J.
    Journal: Ann Pathol; 1988; 8(3):239-43. PubMed ID: 3178943.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe monozygotic twins with right ventricular myxoma, one of whom had cutaneous myxomas, large cell calcifying Sertoli cell tumor of the testis (a lesion which was certainly latent in his brother) and recurrent cardiac myxoma. These elements are manifestations of "Carney's complex". This recently reported inherited syndrome should be recognized by pathologists because of major risk of cardiac myxoma. Cutaneous lesions, specially cutaneous myxomas, are heralds of this syndrome.
