Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Carney complex is characterized by spotty pigmentation (blue naevi and lentigines), myxomas (cardiac, cutaneous, mammary), endocrine over-activity (Cushing's syndrome, acromegaly), testicular tumours, and schwannomas. We report a male with multiple blue naevi, lentigines, testicular large cell calcifying Sertoli-cell tumour and four cardiac myxomas. The myxomas caused two cerebrovascular accidents and a myocardial infarction. All patients with multiple blue naevi or lentigines should be investigated for the life-threatening association of cardiac myxomas. |
